Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However getting your family ready for the arrival of this new baby has its own set of obstacles.
The choice of the best double triple stroller is one of the most important things to consider. This article will cover what options are available and also provide suggestions to help you select the right pram double for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking to purchase a stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent alternative. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without the need to purchase a new one again. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other styles. They also have a better weight distribution making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use and adaptable. 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 which are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally 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 the same amount of storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children close in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your older child is no longer able to use it.
Tandem prams come in a range of configurations with the option of infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to a travel system by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.
To give you the maximum flexibility, a side-by-side double pram allows both kids to take the ride in tandem and interact as they go. This will prevent the two from fighting or waking eachother up.
A side-byside is a great option for grandparents who want to be part of the fun. They can be used to push both children around and help with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem stroller, making them ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to about 4 years old. age. 4 years of age. Many single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the type of toddler board you pick) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options, such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in a single mode while you have one child and then convert it into a tandem double childs pram once bub number two arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.
In-line or tandem double prams can be a little wider than side-by-side double prams but they are still more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use during running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.
They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great option if your children are in the same age range. They are able to see each the other and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doors 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 or a stroller for your younger children. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't designed to be used both in double and single modes. The main drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-by-side seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's seat which could be costly.
