Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also offer the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This lets you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then upgrade once you have twins. These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other models. They also have a more evenly distributed weight which makes them easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use small and compact. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children compared to 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 can be easier to manoeuvre through doorways and on public transport. They do not have much storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are used particularly if your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have more children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's designed as an individual buggy however, it can be transformed into a twin stroller by adding the second seat. It also converts back to an individual stroller when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations with the option of infants to be placed in a bassinet of the pram double on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel strollers unit with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both children enjoy the ride together and play as they go. This will help prevent them from getting up.

A side-byside is a great choice for grandparents who want to get involved in the activities. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram making them a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pushchair pram only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn up to around. four years old. A lot of single prams allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that another child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode when you have just one child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram once bub number two arrives. This will avoid the hassle and expense of purchasing an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams but they are still more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great option if your children are in the same age range. They can see each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side sale 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 double strollers with convertibles, because they were not intended to be used in double and single modes. The main drawback is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be transferred to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
