Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. Making preparations for your family's new baby can be difficult.
One of them is choosing the best travel pushchair double Pram Double for your needs. This article will discuss the options available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the right pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
A convertible single to double stroller is an excellent choice when you're looking for a pram to grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat and will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily 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 usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use small and compact. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name implies tandem prams have two bassinets or two seats that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are being used, especially if your child is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's designed as a single stroller however, it can be transformed to a twin pram stroller by adding an additional seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your older child is no longer able to use it.
Tandem prams can be found in a variety of designs. For example an infant can be placed in a bassinet at the top of the pram for newborn while an older child is seated on the seat below. They can also be converted into a travel system with the addition of an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.
For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take a ride together and play as they go. This can prevent them waking each other up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated close to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles with ease.
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 attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem pram, making them ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is only able to allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth through to approx. Four years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on the type of toddler board you select) to be attached at 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 buying a double option like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem double pram once bub number two is born. This will save you the hassle and cost of buying an additional double stroller.
In-line or tandem double prams can be a little wider than side-by-side double prams however they are still a lot more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use when jogging and require more effort to push them up and down hills.
Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams. They are a great option for families with two children of similar age. They can see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not suitable for use in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your smaller child. They offer the benefit of being less expensive and last longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child could rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and require a change into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
