Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is an excellent choice if you want a pram to grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 twin stroller expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with a single buggy, and then upgrade once you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use, and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams are 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 doors and on public transport. They don't have as much storage and are difficult to reach when both seats are in use, especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of the second seat. It also converts back to a single pram when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in many designs. For instance, an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel unit by incorporating a pushchairs car seats capsule placed in the top seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram allows both kids to take the ride in tandem and interact as they go. This can prevent getting up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-by-side can be the perfect choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun. They can both push the kids around, and help with shopping, running errands and attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem stroller newborn, making them an excellent way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for newborns up to approximately 4 years of age. four years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing a double option like our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have a second child and then change it into a tandem double pram once the second baby arrives. This saves you the cost and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use when running, and require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a good choice if you plan to have 2 children close in age. They will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. They are cheaper and last longer than convertible double strollers because they weren't intended to be used in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your child might soon outgrow a side-byside and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
