Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. However getting your family ready for this new addition is not without its own set of obstacles.

One of them is choosing the right double pram for your requirements. This article will go over the various options available and offer some suggestions on how to choose the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great choice when you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams too and offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage space for both children and parents compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats for prams that are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams tend to be smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. However they don't have as much storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used if your toddler stroller is sitting in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have more children of the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and Childs pram can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to a single stroller if your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations, including the option for infants to sleep in a bassinet for the Pram Double (grmsd.ru) on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. They can also be converted into a travel system by incorporating an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a side-by-side double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and have fun while they travel. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated close to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents who want to get involved in the fun. They can be used to push both children and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem pram, so they can be a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth through to approx. 4 years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler's board to be connected to the back so that the second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double-pram option, such as our DUO2. You can use it 3 in one pushchair single mode until you have your second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram once the second baby is born. This can save you the expense and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, yet they are easier to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use when jogging and will require greater effort to push when going up or down hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers however they are a great choice when your children are in the same age range. They can view each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a different pram or a stroller for your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles since they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The biggest drawback is that your child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will have to be transferred to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
