Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things you can hear. But, preparing your family for the arrival of this new baby comes with its own set of challenges.

The choice of the best double stroller is among them. This article will go over the options available and provide some suggestions on how you can select the right one for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great choice for those who want a stroller that can grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then upgrade once you have twins. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other types of. They also have a more evenly distributed weight which makes them easier to move around. Pros: Simple to use, compact stroller and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage space for both children as compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two seats or bassinets that face each other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side by side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doors and public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and are more difficult to access when both seats are in use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment should they have children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin foldable stroller with the addition of a second seat. It can also be converted back to a single stroller if your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations with the option of an infant to lie in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made travel stroller systems by adding a car capsule in the top seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take a ride together and play as they go. This will help prevent them from fighting or getting up.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents who want to participate in the fun. They can carry both children and help with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great option for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram stores near me is only able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for newborns up to approximately 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 a second child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some first-time parents decide to ensure their Pram Double is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have a second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram once the second baby is born. This will save you the cost and hassle of having to purchase a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a good choice when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age. The children can see and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or a stroller for your children who are younger. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than convertible double prams as they are not built to be used in both single and double modes. The main downside is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be moved to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
