Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

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

The choice of the best double stroller is one of the most important things to consider. This article will go over the various options available and Double pram And pushchair offer some suggestions on how you can select the right one for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat. They typically come with the option of an additional shopping basket, or two carrycots/pushchair car seat seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one once more. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other styles. They also have more evenly distributed weight which makes them easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use and adaptable. Cons: It takes up less space and storage space for both children and parents when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams come with two seats or pram bassinets that are aligned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side by side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't have the same amount of storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are being used especially if your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram double to secure their investment, particularly when they're planning to have more children that are similar in age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of the second seat. It also converts back to a single pram when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs, including the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into travel systems by adding 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 prevent them from wake each other up.

A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to participate in the enjoyable. They can push both children and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for pushchair pram grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for infants to around 4 years of age. 4 years of age. A majority of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that a second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. You can use it in a single mode until you have a second child and then convert it into a tandem double pram when the second baby arrives. This will save you the hassle and cost of purchasing an additional double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams but are a great option if you plan to have two children of similar age. They will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to purchase a new pram or a stroller to accommodate your younger children. They offer the benefit of being less expensive and last longer than convertible double prams, because they aren't built to be used in both single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be moved to a toddler's seat, which can be costly.
