15 Terms Everybody Working In The Pram Double Industry Should Know > 문의하기

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things you can hear. However, preparing your family for the arrival of this new baby pram has its own set of difficulties.

Selecting the best double pram is one of them. This article will go over the options available and provide some guidelines on how to select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option when you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat. They typically come with the option for an additional shopping basket or even 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 pram once more. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other models. They also have a more evenly distributed weight which makes them more maneuverable. They are easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams are two seats or bassinets that face one another. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side-by-side. They can also be 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 particularly if your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have more children of the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back to one parent facing pram once your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations and include the option for infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to travel systems by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both children enjoy the ride together and have fun while they travel. This will help avoid them waking each other 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 with ease.

A side-by-side is also the ideal choice for grandparents looking to join in on the fun. They can both push the kids around and assist with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great option for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn up to around. 4 years old. Many single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you select) to be attached at the back so that another child can stand or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double-pushchair pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram once bub number two arrives. This can save you the expense and stress of purchasing a separate double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams pushchairs prams but they are still easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running pram and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams but are a good choice if you plan to have two children of similar age - the children will be able to view and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side by sides cannot be used in single mode - you will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your younger child. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert since they were not intended to be used in double and single modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will have to be moved to a toddler's chair which could be costly.
