Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. The preparation for your family's new baby can be difficult.

One of them is choosing the best double pram for your requirements. This article will explain the options available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the best travel pushchair pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram and pushchair pram is a great option. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then upgrade once you have twins. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams pushchairs prams and have better weight distribution, which means they are generally easier to maneuver. They are compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two seats or bassinets that face one another. They are generally smaller than side-by-side double good prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They do not have as much storage and are difficult to access when both seats are being used especially when your child is sitting in the front.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in the event that they have children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It starts out as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It also converts back to one pram once your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system prams system by putting car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're seated next to each other allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents who want to participate in the fun. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram making them ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years of age. Many single prams pushchairs prams permit toddler boards (depending on the type of toddler board you pick) to be attached to the back so that another child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying a double option like our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have your second child and then switch it to a tandem inline double pram once the second baby arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

Side by side prams are much more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams but are a great option if you plan to have 2 children close in age. They will be able to view and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers, and may not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams are not usable in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles since they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your child may soon outgrow a side-byside and require to be shifted to a toddler's seat. This can be costly.
