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, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also have the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then upgrade once you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams, and will have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver.

As the name implies, tandem prams are two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side by side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doors and public transport. They don't have as much storage and can be difficult to access when both seats are used, especially when your child is sitting in the front.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of an infant to lie in a pram double [www.fei.cab] bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made a travel system by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.

They're often less expensive than a tandem stroller, making them a great way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A lot of single prams allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that a second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in single mode while you have one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby pram number two arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit larger than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while running pram 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, but they are a good choice for families with two children of similar age. The children can see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are not as mobile and might not be able to fit through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or stroller for your younger children. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your child may soon outgrow a side-byside and require a change into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
