Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. Preparing your family for the new baby can be difficult.

One of these is selecting the best double pram for your requirements. This article will review the options available and offer some tips on how to choose the ideal pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a pram store near me that can grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out 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 offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use, and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage space for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They don't offer as much storage and can be difficult to reach when both seats are in use particularly when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, particularly in the case of children that are similar in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back into a single Pram Double when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations. For instance an infant can be placed in a bassinet that is located 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 the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-by-side double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and play as they go. This can prevent getting up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated near to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-by-side can be the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can both push the kids around and help out with shopping, running errands and attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler's board to be connected to the back so that the second child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to secure their pram for best Travel stroller the future by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode while you have a single child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two arrives. 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, yet they are easier to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are much more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a good choice if you plan to have two children who are similar in age - the children will be able to see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not suitable for use in single mode. You will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your smaller child. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles since they were not intended to be used in double and single modes. The main drawback is that your older child may soon outgrow a side-byside and require a change into a toddler seat. This could be costly.
