Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. But the process of preparing your family for the arrival of a new member comes with its own set of difficulties.
One of them is choosing the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will review the options available and offer some suggestions on how to choose the ideal pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a pram that will grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) to allow you to start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one again. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams too and will offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use and versatile. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children when compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name implies tandem prams have two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side-by-side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However, they don't have enough storage space, and are more difficult to access when both seats are in use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller by the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller if your older child outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams are available in many configurations. For instance an infant can be put in a bassinet at the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into an a travel system by putting an automobile capsule to the top seat.
For the ultimate flexibility, a side-by-side double pram lets both kids enjoy the ride together and have fun while they travel. This will help prevent them from fighting or getting up.
A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to get involved in the enjoyable. They can be used to push both children around and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is only capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for newborns up to approximately 4 years of age. four years old. Many single prams also allow for a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.
Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram double for the future by acquiring a double pram option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until you have your second child and then switch it into a tandem double pram when your second baby is born. This will save you the hassle and cost of buying a separate double stroller.
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. They are more difficult to use while running pram and require more effort to push up or down hills.
They are wider than tandem or in-line double pushchairs prams pushchairs, but they are a great option for children who are similar in age. They are able to see each the other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through standard doorways as easily as a tandem stroller.
Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram bags or a stroller for your children who are younger. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams since they aren't designed to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seat and will need to be moved to a toddler seat, which can be costly.
