Convertible double prams

These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other models. They also have better weight distribution, making them more maneuverable.

Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests, tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats for prams which are positioned one over the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and All-Terrain Strollers on public transport. However they don't offer the same amount of storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are in use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.
Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller 3 in 1 pram order to safeguard their investment in case they have children of the same age. Our DUO2 triple pram is a popular model. It's initially a single stroller and can be converted to a pushchair twin stroller simply by adding the second seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your child's older one outgrows it.
Tandem prams are available in a range of configurations and include the option for an infant to lie in a pram bassinet on top while an older child sits in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be made travel systems by adding car capsules to the top seat.
A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and converse as they go. This will help prevent the two from fighting or waking eachother up.
A side-by-side can be the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in on the fun. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running pushchair errands and attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem stroller, so they can be ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram can only allow one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is usually suitable from birth through to approx. Four years old. A lot of single prams allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.
Some first-time parents decide to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and burden of having to purchase a separate double pram.
In-line or tandem double prams may be a bit wider than side-byside double prams however, they are still much easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. They can be difficult to use while jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.
They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great option for children who are similar in age. The children can view each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.
Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a different pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles because they weren't intended to be used in double and single mode. The main disadvantage is that your child might soon outgrow a side-byside and require a change to a toddler's seat. This can be costly.
