Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. But getting your family ready for the arrival of this new baby is not without its own set of difficulties.

One of them is choosing the right double pram for your requirements. This article will review the options available and provide some suggestions on how to select the right one for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option for those who want a stroller to grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to start your family out with a single buggy and then upgrade once you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams too and will offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. They are easy to use, compact and versatile. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests, tandem prams are two seats or bassinets facing each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams, and are easier to manoeuvre through doors and on public transport. They do not have much storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are being used particularly when your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose tandem strollers to protect their investment should they have more children with the same age. Our DUO2 Pram double is a well-known model. It starts out as a single stroller, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet of the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most can also be converted into a travel system by incorporating an automobile capsule that is placed on the top seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will help 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 easily.

A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to participate in the fun. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem stroller, making them an excellent way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for infants to about 4 years old. age. 4 years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) to be attached at the back so that a child can stand or sit while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram for the future by acquiring a double pram option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram when the second baby is born. 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 larger than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams, but they are a good prams option when you are planning to have two children of similar age. The children can see and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by sides cannot be used in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your youngest child. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't designed to be used both in single and double mode. The main drawback is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-by-side seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
