Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. The preparation for your family's new addition can be challenging.

One of them is deciding on the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will explain what options are available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great option if you want a pram to grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate an additional seat. They also offer the option of adding a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with a single buggy, and then upgrade once you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and will have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are compact, easy to use, and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats facing each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams and are easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are used especially when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to secure their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children close in age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It starts out as a single buggy and can be converted into a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It also converts back to one pram once your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations. For instance the infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Many can be converted into a travel system with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-by-side double pram allows both kids to take the ride in tandem and interact as they go. This will help prevent the two from fighting or getting up.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to participate in the enjoyable. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, 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 decide to secure their pram Double for the future by purchasing a double-pram option, such as our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until you have your second child and then switch it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby is born. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a little wider than side-byside double prams however they are still a lot more maneuverable on busy footpaths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use when jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are an excellent choice when your children are close in age. The children can view each other and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as a tandem babiie stroller.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to purchase a different pram or a stroller for your younger children. 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 main drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and will require to be moved to a toddler seat which could be costly.
