Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. Making preparations for your family's new addition can be challenging.

One of them is deciding on the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will explain the different options available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also have the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and have better weight distribution so they're generally easier to maneuver. They are easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children and parents compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face each other. They are generally smaller than side by side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer as much storage space and are more difficult to access when both seats are in use in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in case they have more children with the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller by the addition of the second seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs. For Pram Double example the infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel unit with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and converse while they ride. This will stop the two from fighting or getting up.

A side-by-side is the best choice for grandparents who want to be part of the enjoyable. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They are usually cheaper than a tandem pram so they can be a great way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is capable of accommodating one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to around 4 years of age. 4 years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the type of toddler board you select) 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 ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in a single mode while you have one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram Double after baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a little wider than side-by-side double prams, but they are still more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while jogging and will require greater effort to push when going up or down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option when your children are in the same age range. The children are able to see each one another and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not fit through standard doors as easily.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not designed to be used both in double and single modes. The main disadvantage is that your child may rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and require a change into a toddler seat. This can be costly.
