Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially if they're planning on more children close in age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted back to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. Four years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

This means you'll use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then switch it into a tandem double pram (phmnews.kr said) after baby number two arrives. This can save you the expense and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on busy footpaths and in shops. They can be difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push up and down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a good choice when you are planning to have 2 children close in age - the children can see and Baby Strollers interact with each other from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as a tandem stroller.

However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than convertible double prams, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child may soon outgrow a side-byside and need to be moved into a toddler seat. This could be costly.
