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 is not without its own set of difficulties.

Selecting the best double pram is among them. This article will go over the options available and provide some guidelines on how you can select the ideal pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great choice if you want a pram that can grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option of an additional shopping basket or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) so that you can start your family with one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without the need to buy a new one once more. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and have better weight distribution so they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage for both children and parents when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. They don't offer much storage space and can be difficult to access when both seats are in use, especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment should they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram double is a popular model. It's initially a single stroller however, it can be transformed into a twin stroller by adding the second seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations and include the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Many can be converted into a travel pram system with the addition of a pushchair car seat capsule placed in the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and have fun while they travel. This will stop them from fighting or waking eachother up.

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

Single prams

A single pram is only capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to about 4 years old. age. 4 years of age. A lot of single prams 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 first-time parents choose to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double-pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two is born. This will avoid the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double foldable stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use during running, and require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers however they are a great option if your children are in the same age range. They can see each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side by side prams are not usable in single mode. You must purchase a different pram or stroller for your younger child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than double pushchairs prams that convert, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your child might quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require a change to a toddler's seat. This could be costly.
