Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

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

Selecting the best double pram is among the most important things to consider. This article will go over the options available and offer some suggestions on how to choose the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or even two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new pram once more. These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other models. They also have better weight distribution making them easier to move around. Pros: Compact, simple to use and versatile. Cons: It takes up less space and storage space for both children and parents in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats facing each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. However, they don't have enough storage space, and can be more difficult to access when both seats are being used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially when they're planning to have more children close in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in a variety of configurations. For example, an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. They can also be transformed into a travel unit by adding a car capsule placed in the top seat.

A side-by-side double triple stroller allows the children to ride together and talk as they go. This can prevent 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 the ideal choice for grandparents who want to be part of the enjoyable. They can push both children around and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is typically suitable from newborn until around. Four 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 parents who are first-time parents opt to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have your second child and then convert it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby arrives. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams pushchairs prams pushchairs are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great option if your children are similar in age. They can view each the other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as mobile and might not be able to fit through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another Pram double or a stroller for your children who are younger. They are cheaper and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not designed to be used both in double and single modes. The main drawback is that your older child may soon outgrow a side-byside and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This could be costly.
