Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second child and typically come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) to allow you to start your family with one buggy and later upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new pram and again. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other styles. They also have a better weight distribution, making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use and adaptable. Cons: Less space and storage space for both children and parents in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats facing each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams, and are easier to manoeuvre through doorways and on public transport. However they don't have as much storage space and are more difficult to access when both seats are in use when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have more children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's initially an individual buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to be placed in a pram bassinet on top while an older child sits in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to travel systems by adding a car capsule in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets both children to ride together and converse as they go. This can prevent the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can carry both children around and help out with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're often less expensive than a tandem stroller, which makes them a great way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram double is capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to about 4 years old. age. four years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) 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 ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have a second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram when your second baby arrives. This will save you the cost and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. They can be harder to use when jogging and require more effort to push them up and 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 two children who are similar in age. They will be able to view and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not usable in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your youngest child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your older child may quickly outgrow a side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
