Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide To Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. However the process of preparing your family for this new addition has its own set of challenges.

The choice of the best double stroller is one of them. This article will discuss the various 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 and your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 twin pushchairs expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to start your family out with just a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams, and will offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use, compact and parent facing pushchair versatile. Cons: It takes up less space and storage space for both children in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams and can be easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are being used particularly when your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, especially if they're planning on more children close in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of a second seat. It also converts back to an individual stroller when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in many designs. For example an infant can be put in a bassinet at 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.

For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram allows both kids to take a ride together and interact as they go. This will prevent them from wake each other up.

A side-byside is a great choice for grandparents who want to participate in the fun. They can carry both children and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or a bassinet/carry cot. It is usually suitable from birth through to approx. four years old. A majority of single prams allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that a second child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying double options, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have a single child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram double (glamorouslengths.com said) after baby number two is born. This will save you the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

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

They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great option if your children are similar in age. Children are able to see each other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side by side prams are not usable in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your youngest child. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and last longer than convertible double pushchairs prams since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your child might rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler seat. This can be expensive.
