There aren't many things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. However, preparing your family for the arrival of a new member is not without its own set of obstacles.

If you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is a great option. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with a single buggy, and then upgrade when you have twins. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other styles. They also offer better weight distribution, making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use, compact and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two seats or bassinets that face one another. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They do not have as much storage and are difficult to access when both seats are being used, especially if your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment should they have children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 Pram double which starts life as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller by the addition of an additional seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in many configurations. For example, an infant can be placed in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel unit by adding the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and talk as they go. This will help prevent them from fighting or waking eachother up.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to participate in the enjoyable. They can carry both children and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is generally suitable from newborn up to around. 4 years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you pick) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying a double option like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode while you have a single child and then convert it into a tandem double pram once bub number two arrives. This can save you the expense and burden of having to purchase a separate double pram.

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

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a good choice when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age - the children can see and interact with one another from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and might not fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams cannot be used in single mode - you will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your youngest child. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert since they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be moved to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
