Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
There aren't many things more exciting than hearing 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 them is deciding on the right double pram for your requirements. This article will discuss the options available along with some tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double Pram Double is a great option. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option for an additional shopping basket or even two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new one and again. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams, and will have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children and parents compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name implies, tandem prams come with two seats or pram bassinets that are aligned one over the other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. They don't offer much storage space and are 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 opt for a tandem pram to secure their investment, particularly in the case of children who are close to the age of. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of a second seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your elder child outgrows it.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs. For instance an infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Most can also be converted into a best travel pushchair system by incorporating the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows the children to ride together and converse as they go. This will stop the two from fighting or wake each other up.
A side-byside is a great option for grandparents who want to participate in the enjoyable. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram pushchair is able to accommodate one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to approximately 4 years of age. 4 years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the kind of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.
Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram for the future by acquiring a double pram bag option, like our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have your second child, and then change it into a tandem double pram once the second baby pram is born. This will avoid the hassle and cost of purchasing an additional double stroller.
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when going up or down hills.
Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a great option for families with two children of similar age. They can see and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as tandem strollers.
Non-convertible side by sides are not suitable for use in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your smaller child. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers with convertibles, because they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The biggest drawback is that your older child might quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
