There aren't many things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. However, preparing your family for this new addition has its own set of difficulties.

The best double babiie pram is one of the most important things to consider. This article will discuss what options are available along with some tips to help you choose the best 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 double to expand with your family. These innovative 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 even two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new one again. 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. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children as when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two seats or pram bassinets which are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are used, especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem cheap stroller to protect their investment should they have more children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy and can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of a second seat. It also converts back into a single pram when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations with the option of infants to sleep in a bassinet for the pram and car seat on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made an a travel system by putting a car capsule in the top seat.

For maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and interact as they go. This will help prevent the two from fighting or waking eachother up.

A side-by-side is the best choice for grandparents who want to participate in the enjoyable. They can carry both children around and help with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem pram making them ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

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

Some first-time parents decide to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double-pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem double pram after baby number two arrives. This will avoid the hassle and cost of buying a separate double stroller.

Tandem or 3 in 1 pram-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams, yet they are easier to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use during running and will require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double prams however they are a great choice when your children are close in age. Children can view each the other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or a stroller for your children's younger ones. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not designed to be used both in double and single modes. The main disadvantage is that your older child could quickly outgrow a side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
