Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller - www.starpoint.Com.sg - that will grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also come with 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 upgrade once you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams, and will offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use, compact and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats for prams that are aligned one in front of the other. Tandem prams pushchairs are generally narrower than double prams that are side by side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and public transport. They don't offer as much storage and are difficult to reach when both seats are used, especially when your child 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 who are close to the age of. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of a second seat. It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller if your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in many designs. For example an infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child is seated on the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel unit by incorporating a car capsule placed in the top seat.

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

A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in on the fun. They can push both kids around, and help with shopping, running errands and attending events. They are usually cheaper than a tandem pram making them a great way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single childs pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for infants to around 4 years of age. 4 years of age. Many single prams permit a toddler board (depending on the type of toddler board you pick) to be attached at 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 by purchasing a double-pram option, like our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have a second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram when the second baby is born. This will save 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 easier to maneuver on crowded pedestrian paths and in shops. They can be harder to use while running pushchair and require more effort to push up or down hills.

Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a great option if you plan to have two children of similar age. They will be able to see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used 3 in one pushchair single and double modes. The main downside is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler seat, which can be costly.
