Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide In Pram Double
Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
There are few things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. However the process of preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of obstacles.
One of them is choosing the best double pram for your requirements. This article will explain the different options available and also provide suggestions to help you select the best pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second child and usually come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new one again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams and will have better weight distribution so they are generally easier to maneuver. They are easy to use, compact and versatile. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children compared to some other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or seats that face each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams and are easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are in use in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.
Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It starts out as a single buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin pushchair stroller by adding a second seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller when your child reaches the age of buggy.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs. For example the infant can be placed in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel system with the addition of an automobile capsule that is placed on the top seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact they're seated next to each other means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles easily.
A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to get in the fun - they can carry both children around, and help with shopping, running errands and attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is only able to allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot - it is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. four years old. A lot of single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you pick) to be attached to the back, so that a child can stand or sit while you push chairs and prams the stroller.
Some first-time parents choose to ensure their pram shops near me is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in a single mode while you have one child, and then switch it into a tandem double pram after baby number two arrives. This will save you the cost and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram (your domain name).
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.
Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a great option for families with two children of similar age. They will be able to view and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.
Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to buy another pram or a stroller for your younger children. They have the advantage of being less expensive 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 child may soon outgrow a side-byside and require to be shifted into a toddler seat. This can be costly.
