The Double Pram

The pram as we know it has evolved to suit the lifestyles of the modern world.

Many different types and sizes of prams are flooding the market from a double pram through to 3 in 1 travel systems. The basic types of prams are:

Traditional style pram

This type of pram is a small carriage, exclusively made for the newborn. These prams enable the newborn to sleep very comfortably and are very easy to push. They have state of the art suspension and shock absorption built in. The pram also has a bassinet cover to protect your infant. The child faces parent while the pram is being pushed, and the smooth ride allows the baby to sleep peacefully.

The pram is basically a portable bed where the newborn lies flat in a natural position without any harnessing.

Different Types Of Double Pram

# Stroller

There is increased popularity for the stroller style in recent years, because they are lighter and more compact but maintain the stability of the pram. This type can generally be used longer than prams since their feature are more adjustable.

The standard stroller closely resembles the pram, it can multi-task and has heaps of rooms for storage of bags etc. The cot can also be taken off for use as a carrier.

#Travel system – 3 in 1

The 3 in 1 pram is made of a carrycot, a detached pushchair and a child car seat. Carrycot and car seat units of the pram may be joined to the chassis where you usually have the normal seats by fastenings or clips. The pushchair often comes with a reclining backrest and a flexible footrest, which is designed to face you or not.

The versatile 3 in 1 pram is best suited for a parent who has to constantly move the baby in and out of a vehicle for shopping and other activities. This pram is manufactured in such a way as to allow the parent to shift the baby without disturbing its rest or sleep.

# double pram, twin pram or tandem pushchairs.

These prams are preferable for twins or toddlers with an age gap of  12 months or more, when the parent has to take them out constantly.

 

The double pushchair has 2 seats next to each other, and suitable if the kids get along well together. The tandem pushchair has seats attached one behind the other, for kids that do not get along. Since they can’t see each other they will be less troublesome.

# Jogger

This pram is perfect for a parent who loves the outdoors and likes to keep fit. The jogger has air filled tires, along with great shock absorbers and is robust and easily rides over rough terrain, giving your child a comfortable ride, without compromising your speed.

# Buggy/lightweight

The buggy is a lightweight pram well suited for those who predominantly use public transport. This pram can often be folded with one hand, and are very compact which is a blessing when you get into a bus, tube or train with baby and bags.

They also come with an umbrella attached, for use during wet weather.
