Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. But getting your family ready for the arrival of this new baby comes with its own set of obstacles.

One of these is selecting the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will explain what options are available, as well as some tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a foldable stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option for an additional shopping basket or two carrycots/car 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 the need to purchase a new one once more. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other styles. They also have a better weight distribution which makes them more maneuverable. Pros: Easy to use compact and flexible. 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 the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats facing each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams and are easier to manoeuvre through doorways and on public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are in use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially if they're planning on more children close in age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It starts out as a single stroller however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It can also be converted back to a single Pram double (Glamorouslengths.Com) when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations. For instance an infant can be placed in a bassinet at the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel system with the addition of the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.

For maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both kids take a ride together and interact as they go. This will help prevent them from wake each other up.

A side-by-side can be the perfect choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can both push the kids around and help out with shopping, running errands and attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great choice for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is usually suitable from birth up to around. four years old. Many single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the kind 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 parents who are new to the family decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by buying a double option like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem double pram once bub number two arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a little wider than side-by-side double prams, however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams but are a good choice if you plan to have two children of similar age. The children will be able to see and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams cannot be used in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your younger child. However, they have the advantage of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, as they are not built to be used in both single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and Pram double will require to be moved to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
