Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. However getting your family ready for this new addition comes with its own set of obstacles.

One of these is selecting the most suitable double pram to meet your needs. This article will go over the options available and provide some guidelines on how to select the ideal pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a pram double that will grow with your family, a convertible single double babiie pram is a great option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other models. They also have a better weight distribution which makes them easier to move around. They are easy to use small and compact. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face one another. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side by side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. They do not have much storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are being used particularly if your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have more children of the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy 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 when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in many configurations. For example an infant can be put in a bassinet at the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. They can also be transformed into a travel system by incorporating a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and play as they go. 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 allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to be part of the enjoyable. They can be used to push both children and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram, making them a great way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram double only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler stroller board) while you push the stroller along.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing double options, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have one child, triple pushchair (https://www.tourism.Net.Nz/) and then change it into a tandem double pram once bub number two is born. This saves you the cost and stress of purchasing a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double prams however they are a great choice if your children are similar in age. They are able to see each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are less mobile and might not be able to fit through standard doorways as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll need to buy another pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. They are cheaper and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The biggest drawback is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and will require to be moved to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
