The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. However, preparing your family for the arrival of a new member comes with its own set of difficulties.

Convertible double pushchairs prams
A convertible single-to-double stroller is an excellent choice if you want a pram double that can grow with your family. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also offer the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other models. They also have a more evenly distributed weight which makes them easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use, compact and versatile. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children compared to some other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests, tandem prams have two seats or pram bassinets which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. However they don't have as much storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.
Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, especially when they're planning to have more children close in age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It's initially an individual buggy and can be converted into a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to sleep in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel system by incorporating the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.
A side-by-side double stroller lets both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will help avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.
A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to get involved in the activities. They can be used to push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're often less expensive than a tandem pram, making them an excellent way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.
Single prams
A single pram can only allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is typically suitable from newborn until around. four years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the kind of toddler board you select) to be tacked to the back so that another child can stand or sit, while you push the stroller.
Some first-time parents decide to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem double pram double after baby number two arrives. This will avoid the hassle and cost of purchasing a separate double stroller.
In-line or tandem double prams may be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams, however, they are still much more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while jogging and will require greater effort to push when climbing or descending hills.
They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers however they are a great option for children who are similar in age. Children are able to see each other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through doors as easily as tandem strollers.
Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to buy another pram or stroller for your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles, because they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The biggest drawback is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-byside seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's chair which could be costly.
