Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a baby stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat. They will typically have the option for an additional shopping basket or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to buy a new one and again. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams too and will offer better weight distribution, so they're often easier to manoeuvre.

Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or two seats facing each other. They are generally smaller than side-by-side double prams and can be easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are used when 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. A popular model is our DUO2 Pram Double [

It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller once your child is older and outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams can be found in many designs. For example an infant can be put in a bassinet at the top of the pram while an older child is seated on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a
pushchair travel system system by incorporating the
pushchair car seat capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated close to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.
A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents who want to participate in the activities. They can push both children around and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is usually suitable from birth until around. Four years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back of the
my babiie stroller, so that a second child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

You can use it in single mode until the time you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram when the second baby arrives. This can save you the expense and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.
In-line or tandem double prams might be a little wider than side-by-side double prams however, they are still much easier to manoeuvre on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push when going up or down hills.
They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great choice when your children are close in age. Children can view 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-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different
pram newborn or stroller for your younger children. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert, because they were not intended to be used in double and single mode. The main downside is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-by-side seat and will require to be transferred to a toddler seat, which can be costly.
