Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. Preparing your family for the new baby can be a challenge.

The choice of the best double pushchair stroller is among them. This article will discuss the different options available, as well as some tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is an excellent choice for those who want a stroller to expand with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate an additional seat. They also have the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other models. They also have a more evenly distributed weight making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests the term "twin Pram Double" refers to two seats or bassinets that face each other. Tandem prams tend to be smaller than double prams that are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, especially in the case of children that are similar 3 in 1 pram age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's initially a single buggy, but can be upgraded into a twin stroller by adding the second seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations with the option of infants to be placed in a pram bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams travel system are able to be converted into a travel system by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-by-side double pram allows both kids to take a ride together and interact as they go. This will help avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated next to each other allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is also the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in on the fun - they can both push the kids around, and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for infants to approximately 4 years of age. Four years old. A lot of single prams allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options such as our DUO2. You can use it in a single mode until you have your second child, and then change it into a tandem double pram once the second baby is born. This will save you the cost and burden of having to purchase a separate double pram and travel system.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams, however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use during running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good choice for families with two children who are similar in age. The children can see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side by side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. However, they have the advantage of being less expensive and last longer than convertible double prams as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will have to be moved to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
