Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. But, preparing your family for the arrival of this new baby has its own set of challenges.

The choice of the best double stroller is one of them. This article will cover what options are available and also provide tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great option. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option of an additional shopping basket or even two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can start your family with one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one and again. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other styles. They also have better weight distribution making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less space and storage for both children and parents in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

The name suggests that tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats that are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams are generally more compact than double prams which are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. They do not have much storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are used, especially when your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially in the case of children that are similar in age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of a second seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller compact when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations, 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. They can also be converted into a travel system by adding the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and converse as they go. This can help to avoid getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated close to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is also an ideal option for grandparents looking to join in the fun. They can push both kids around and help out with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're often less expensive than a tandem stroller, making them a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

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

Some first-time parents decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing a double option like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode while you have one child and then convert it into a tandem double pram once bub number two is born. This will save you the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

Tandem or foldable pram in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers however they are a great option when your children are close in age. The children can view each other and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side by sides cannot be used in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your younger child. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers because they weren't intended to be used in double and single modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-by-side seat and will need to be transferred to a toddler's chair which can be expensive.
