There aren't many things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. However getting your family ready for this new addition is not without its own set of obstacles.

One of them is deciding on the best double pram double, check out here, for your requirements. This article will review the options available and offer some tips on how to select the ideal pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great choice when you're looking for a pram to expand with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option of an additional shopping basket or two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower ones available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to buy a new one once more. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face one another. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double pram and pushchair prams that are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. They don't offer as much storage and can be difficult to reach when both seats are used particularly when your child is sitting in the front.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's designed as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams can be found in many designs. For instance the infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into travel systems by adding a car capsule in the top seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both children enjoy the ride together and play as they go. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact they're seated near to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is also 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 or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram stores near me is only able to allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot. It is usually suitable from birth until around. four years old. A lot of single prams allow for a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying a double option such as our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two arrives. This can save you the expense and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit larger than side by side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on sidewalks and 3 in 1 pram stores. They can be harder to use while jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are an excellent choice when your children are similar in age. They can view each one another and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams cannot be used in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. They have the advantage of being less expensive and will last for longer than convertible double prams, since they aren't designed to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seat and will require to be transferred to a toddler's seat which could be costly.
