Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide Towards Pram Double
Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
There aren't many things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. Preparing your family for the new addition can be challenging.
One of them is choosing the best double pram for your needs. This article will discuss the options available and offer some tips on how to choose the right one for you and your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 twin pushchair expand the width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then upgrade when you have twins. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other models. They also have a more evenly distributed weight, making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children compared to some other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
The name suggests that tandem prams have two seats or Pram Double bassinets that are positioned one over the other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They are also easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. They don't offer much storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are being used, especially if your child is in the front seat.
Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment should they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram set is a well-known model. It starts out as a single stroller however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller if your older child outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs, including the option for infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. They can also be transformed into a travel system by incorporating the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.
To give you the maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both children take the ride in tandem and have fun while they pushchair travel system. This will stop them from fighting or wake each other up.
A side-byside is a great option for grandparents looking to participate in the fun. They can be used to push both children and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is only capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to approximately 4 years of age. Four years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you select) to be tacked to the back, so that a child can stand or sit, while you push chairs and prams the stroller.
Some parents who are new to the family decide to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying double options like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram once bub number two arrives. This saves you the cost and hassle of having to purchase a separate double pram.
In-line or tandem double prams might be a bit wider than side-byside double prams however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running, and require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.
They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are an excellent choice for children who are similar in age. The children can see each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or stroller for your younger children. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles because they weren't intended to be used in double and single modes. The main drawback is that your child could quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
