Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. But, preparing your family for this new addition is not without its own set of challenges.

One of these is selecting the best travel stroller double pram for your needs. This article will review the options available and provide some suggestions on how to select 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 double (Main Page) that can grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat. They will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) to allow you to start your family with one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new pram and again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are easy to use, compact and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats that face each other. Tandem prams are generally more compact than double prams which 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 can be more difficult to access when both seats are used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose tandem strollers to protect their investment in case they have more children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It's designed as a single buggy and can be converted into a twin lightweight stroller by adding a second seat. It also converts back into one pram once your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of infants to sleep in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. They can also be converted into a travel system with the addition of the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This will help prevent them from getting up.

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

Single prams

A single pram is only able to accommodate one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to around 4 years of age. four years old. A lot of single pushchairs prams pushchairs allow a toddler board (depending on the kind 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 new to the family decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing double options such as our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until the time you have a second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram and pushchair pram when your second baby arrives. This will save you the cost and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use during running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams, but they are a good option if you plan to have two children of similar age. The children will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and might not be able to pass through 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 foldable stroller for your younger children. They are cheaper and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not intended to be used in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your child will soon outgrow the side-byside seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's seat which could be costly.
