Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

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

The choice of the best travel pushchair double stroller is among them. This article will go over the options available and offer some suggestions on how you can select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great option for those who want a stroller that can grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also have the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams too and will have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less space and storage for both children as in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

The name suggests that tandem prams come with two seats or pram bassinets that are aligned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and public transport. However, they don't have enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are in use in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially if they're planning on more children close in age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 triple pram which starts life as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of the second seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller if your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs, including the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams are able to be converted into travel systems by adding a car capsule in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets both children to share a ride and converse as they go. This can prevent the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting next to each other means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is also the ideal choice for grandparents looking to join in the fun - they can carry both children around, and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're often less expensive than a tandem pram which makes them a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to approximately 4 years of age. 4 years of age. A majority of single prams allow a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some first-time parents decide to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double-pram option, such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in single mode when you have just one child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two is born. This will save you the cost and stress of purchasing a separate double Pram Double.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and in stores. They are more difficult to use when jogging and require more effort to push up or down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams but are a great option for families with two children who are similar in age - the children will be able to see and interact with one another 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 will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your smaller child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams, as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your child might rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and require a change to a toddler's seat. This can be expensive.
