20 Fun Details About Pram Double
Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However the process of preparing your family for this new addition is not without its own set of difficulties.
The best double pram is one of the most important things to consider. This article will review the options available and offer some guidelines on how to choose the ideal pram for you and your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second child and usually come with the option of an additional shopping basket, or two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new one and 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're often easier to manoeuvre. They are compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double cheap prams
Like the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two seats or bassinets that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams, and are easier to manoeuvre 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 in use in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.
Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, particularly when they're planning to have more children that are similar in age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's initially a single cheap stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of infants to sleep in a triple pram bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system by putting a car capsule in the top seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows the children to ride together and talk as they go. This can help to avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, while the fact they're seated near to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.
A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to participate in the fun. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem pram making them an excellent way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.
Single prams
A single pram can only allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot - it is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. Four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options, such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in single mode while you have one child and then convert it into a tandem double pram when baby number two arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of purchasing an additional double stroller.
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams but are still more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and in stores. They are more difficult to use while jogging and require more effort to push them up and down hills.
Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a good option when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age. The children can see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and might not pass through standard doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode - you must purchase a different pram stores near me or stroller for your youngest child. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers with convertibles, because they were not intended to be used in single and double mode. The biggest drawback is that your child could soon outgrow a side-byside and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
