Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However, preparing your family for this new addition has its own set of challenges.

Selecting the best double pram is one of the most important things to consider. This article will review the options available and provide some tips on how to select the best pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They typically come with the option for an additional shopping basket or two pushchair car seat 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 purchase a new one again. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are compact, easy to use, and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for lightweight stroller both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams and are more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They do not have as much storage and can be difficult to access when both seats are used, especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have more children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's designed as an individual buggy however, it can be transformed into a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller if your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in many designs. For instance the infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child is seated on the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made an a travel pushchair travel system prams by putting an automobile capsule to the top seat.

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

A side-by-side can be the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can carry both children around and help out with shopping, running pushchair errands and attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is typically suitable from newborn until around. 4 years old. A lot of single prams allow for a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have your second child, and then convert it into a tandem double pram when your second baby is born. This will save you the hassle and cost of buying a separate double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a little wider than side-by-side double prams, but they are still more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. They can be harder to use when jogging, and require more effort to push up and down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are an excellent choice when your children are similar in age. They are able to see each one another and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll need to buy another pram or stroller for your younger children. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option 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 downside is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seat and will need to be moved to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
