Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things you can hear. However getting your family ready for the arrival of a new member is not without its own set of challenges.

One of them is deciding on the best double pram for your requirements. This article will discuss the options available and also provide suggestions to help you select the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double pushchairs prams

If you're looking to purchase a babiie stroller that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to start your family out with a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other models. They also have better weight distribution which makes them easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: Less space and storage for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests the term "twin pram double" refers to two bassinets or two seats facing each other. They are generally smaller than side by side double prams and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't offer as much storage and can be difficult to reach when both seats are used, especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have more children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram for newborn, which is designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in many designs. For instance an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be made travel systems by adding car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and converse as they go. This can prevent getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents looking to join in on the fun. They can both push the kids around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem stroller, which makes them ideal for introducing grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to around 4 years of age. four years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler's 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 future-proof the pram for newborn they purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode while you have one child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

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

They are larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option for children who are in the same age range. Children can see each other and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your youngest child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option 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 will have to be moved to a toddler seat which could be costly.
