Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. The preparation for your family's new addition can be challenging.

One of these is selecting the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will go over the options available and provide some tips on how to choose the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is an excellent choice if you want a pram to expand with your family. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second child and usually come with the option for an additional shopping basket or even two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) to allow you to start your family with one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one and again. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other styles. They also have more evenly distributed weight which makes them more maneuverable. Pros: Compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: It takes up less space and storage space for both children as when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests tandem prams have two seats or bassinets facing each other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are in use when your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment should they have more children of the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to a single stroller once your child reaches the age of buggy.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs and include the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. They can also be transformed into a pushchair travel system unit with the addition of the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This can prevent getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated next to each other means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to get involved in the activities. They can push both children and help with shopping, running pram errands or attending events. They are usually cheaper than a tandem pram, which makes them an excellent way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for infants to around 4 years of age. 4 years of age. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents decide to future-proof the pram double - see this site - they purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram once bub number two arrives. This will save you the hassle and cost of purchasing an additional double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, but they are easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use when running, and require more effort to push when you're climbing or descending hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option if your children are close in age. Children can see each the other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller newborn.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to purchase a new pram or a stroller for your children's younger ones. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't intended to be used in single and double mode. The main disadvantage is that your older child could soon outgrow a side-byside and need to be moved to a toddler's seat. This can be expensive.
