It's True That The Most Common Pram Double Debate Isn't As Black Or White As You Think

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. But, preparing your family for the arrival of a new member comes with its own set of challenges.

The best double pram is one of them. This article will discuss the options available along with some tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that will grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also have the option of adding 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 once you have twins. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and will have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver. They are compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams are generally more compact than double pushchairs prams pushchairs which are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to secure their investment, particularly in the case of children that are similar in age. A popular model is our DUO2 foldable pram which starts life as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations, including the option for infants to be placed 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 with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and play as they go. This will prevent them from fighting or waking eachother up.

A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to get involved in the activities. They can be used to push both children around and help with shopping, running errands, strollers Strollers or attending events. They are usually less expensive than a tandem stroller, so they can be a great way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot. It is usually suitable from birth up to around. Four years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the type of toddler board you pick) to be attached to the back so that another child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents decide to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying double options like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two is born. This saves you the cost and stress of purchasing a separate double pram for newborn.

Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. They can be harder to use while jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a good choice for families with two children of similar age - the children will be able to view and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are not as mobile and might not be able to fit through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or a stroller for your children's younger ones. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your child may quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This could be costly.
