The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. The preparation for your family's new baby can be a challenge.

One of them is choosing the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will review the options available and provide some tips on how to choose the right one for you and 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 clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also have the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then upgrade when you have twins. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams too and will have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Umbrella Strollers Less storage space and less space for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams and are easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. They don't have much storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are used especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children close in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin lightweight stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams pushchairs prams can be found in a variety of configurations. For example the infant can be put in a bassinet at the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into an a travel system by putting car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets the children to ride together and talk as they go. This will stop them from getting up.

A side-byside is a great option for grandparents who want to get involved in the activities. They can push both children and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to help 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. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) to be attached to the back so that another child can stand or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing double options like our DUO2. This means that you will 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 save you the cost and hassle of having to purchase a separate double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a little wider than side-byside double prams however, they are still much easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. They are more difficult to use while running and require more effort to push up and down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double prams however they are a great choice for children who are 3 in 1 pram the same age range. The children are able to see each one another and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a new pram or a stroller to accommodate your younger children. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child could quickly outgrow a side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This can be expensive.
