Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is an excellent choice when you're looking for a pram to grow with your family. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) to allow you to start your family with one buggy and later upgrade to twins without the need to buy a new one once more. These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other types of. They also offer more evenly distributed weight, making them easier to move around. Pros: Compact, simple to use and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children as when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double pram and pushchair prams

As the name implies tandem prams have two bassinets or two seats that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't offer much storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are used especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have more children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller by the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in a variety of designs. For instance 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. They can also be converted into a travel system by adding a car capsule placed in the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-by-side double pram pushchair pram lets both children take the ride in tandem and play as they go. This can help to avoid getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is also the perfect choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem pram, making them an excellent way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is typically suitable from newborn up to around. four years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back, so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some first-time parents decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing a double option such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram pushchair after baby number two is born. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams, however, they are still much easier to manoeuvre on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a great option if you plan to have 2 children close in age. They will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side by sides are not suitable for use in single mode - you will need to purchase another pram double or stroller for your smaller child. However, they offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and last longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. 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.
