Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option if you want a pram to expand with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat and usually come with the option of an additional shopping basket or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new pram once more. They usually have more configurations and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams and offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams are generally more compact than double prams which are side by side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used when your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in case they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's initially a single stroller however, it can be transformed to a twin triple stroller simply by adding an additional seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in many configurations. For example the infant can be placed in a bassinet at the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel unit by adding a car capsule placed in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This will help prevent them from fighting or wake each other up.

They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, compact Pushchair running errands or attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram, which makes them an excellent way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

Many single prams allow toddler boards (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents decide to future-proof the pram they purchase by purchasing a double option like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode while you have one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.

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

Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age. They can see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doors as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will have to buy a new pram or pushchair stroller for your smaller child. They offer the benefit of being less expensive and last longer than double prams that convert, as they are not built to be used in both single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your child may soon outgrow a side-byside and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This could be costly.
