Convertible double prams
If you’re looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option of an additional shopping basket or two carrycots/car seats (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 having to purchase a new pram once more. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other types of. They also offer more evenly distributed weight making them more maneuverable. Pros: Simple to use small and compact. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children as compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests, tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. However they don’t have as much storage space and are more difficult to access when both seats are 3 in one pushchair use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly if they’re planning on more children who are close to the age of. A popular model is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to one pram once your child’s older one outgrows it.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of an infant to lie in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be made an a pushchairs travel systems system by putting a car capsule in the top seat.
A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will prevent the two from fighting or getting up.
A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to participate in the activities. They can carry both children and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They are usually less expensive than a tandem pram which makes them ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot – it is typically suitable from newborn up to around. Four years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) 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 acquiring a double pram option, such as our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have your second child, and then change it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby arrives. This will save you the hassle and cost of buying a separate double stroller.
In-line or tandem double prams might be a little wider than side-by-side double prams, but they are still more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use when jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.
Side by side prams are larger 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 can see and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not fit through standard doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode – you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your younger child. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers, because they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your child might quickly outgrow a side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler seat. This can be costly.
