Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However, preparing your family for the arrival of a new member has its own set of difficulties.

Selecting the best double Pram double is among them. This article will discuss the various options available and offer some suggestions on how to choose the best pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a pram that can adapt to your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second child and typically 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 begin your family with just one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without needing to buy a new one and again. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other styles. They also have a more evenly distributed weight making them more maneuverable. Pros: Easy to use, compact and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side by side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in case they have more children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller by the addition of a second seat. It also converts back into one pram once your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations with the option of infants to sleep 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 a travel system by adding car capsules to the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-byside double pram allows both kids to take the ride in tandem and have fun while they travel. This can help to avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting near to one another means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side can be the perfect 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 are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams for newborns

A single pram is only capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to around 4 years of age. 4 years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on which type of toddler board you pick) to be attached to the back, so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying a double option like our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until the time you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram once the second baby arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. They can be harder to use when jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great choice for children who are close in age. The children are able to see each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

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