Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide Towards Pram Double
Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you are expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. However getting your family ready for the arrival of this new baby comes with its own set of challenges.
One of them is choosing the right double pram for your needs. This article will go over the options available and offer some suggestions on how you can select the best pram for you and your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a pram that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent alternative. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also have the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then upgrade once you have twins. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other styles. They also have a better weight distribution, making them more maneuverable. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage for both children as compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double pram and pushchair prams
Like the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or seats that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams pushchairs, and are easier to manoeuvre through doors and on public transport. However, they don't have as much storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.
Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's designed as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin foldable stroller by adding an additional seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller once your older child outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams come in many designs. For instance, an infant can be put in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to travel systems by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.
A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and talk as they go. This will prevent them from wake each other up.
A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to participate in the enjoyable. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents who want 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 around 4 years of age. Four years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the kind of toddler board you pick) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt to secure their pram double for the future purchase by purchasing a double option such as our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until the time you have your second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram when your second baby is born. This saves you the cost and burden of having to purchase a separate double pram.
In-line or tandem double prams can 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. They can be harder to use when jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.
Side by side prams are much more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good choice when you are planning to have 2 children close in age. The children will be able to view and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.
Non-convertible side by side prams cannot be used in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your youngest child. They have the advantage of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child might quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require a change to a toddler's seat. This can be costly.
