Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option for those who want a stroller that can grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate an additional seat. They also have the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This lets you to start your family out with a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use small and compact. Cons: Less space and storage space for both children and parents in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that are aligned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They are also more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. They don't have the same amount of storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are being used, especially if your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem Pram double to secure their investment, especially in the case of children close in age. Our DUO2 triple pram is a well-known model. It's initially a single buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in many designs. For instance, an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to a travel system by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.

A side-by-side double babiie stroller lets both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, while the fact they're seated close to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-by-side is also the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can push both kids around, and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years old. A lot of single prams allow toddler stroller boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you select) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents decide to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem double pram when baby number two is born. This saves you the cost and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use while jogging and will require greater effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great option for children who are close in age. Children are able to see each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and might not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not suitable for use in single mode - you will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your smaller child. They have the advantage of being less expensive and last longer than convertible double prams because they aren't built to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-by-side seat and will need to be transferred to a toddler's chair which can be expensive.
