Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide For Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. But the process of preparing your family for the arrival of a new member comes with its own set of difficulties.

Selecting the best double pram is one of the most important things to consider. This article will discuss the different options available and also provide suggestions to help you select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option if you want a pram that can grow with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy and later upgrade to twins without the need to buy a new one once more. They usually have more configurations and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams too and will have better weight distribution, which means they are generally easier to maneuver. They are easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less space and storage for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats for prams which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. They don't have as much storage and can be difficult to reach when both seats are used particularly if your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. Our DUO2 pram with car seat is a well-known model. It's initially a single stroller and can be converted into a twin foldable stroller by adding an additional seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to be placed in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel pushchair unit with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both children take a ride together and interact as they go. This will prevent the two from fighting or wake each other up.

A side-by-side is also the perfect choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can push both kids around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram double (Bookmarkspring says) only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn up to around. 4 years of age. Many single prams permit a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back so that another child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in a single mode until you have your second child, and then convert it to a tandem inline double pram once the second baby arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double pushchairs prams pushchairs, yet they are more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and in stores. They can be harder to use when jogging and require more effort to push up or down hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are an excellent choice when your children are similar in age. The children can see each the other and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not fit through standard doors as easily.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a new pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers because they weren't intended to be used in double and single modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child might quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require a change to a toddler's seat. This can be expensive.
