Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you are expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things you can hear. But, preparing your family for this new addition has its own set of difficulties.
One of them is choosing the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will cover the options available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the right pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a baby stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also offer the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This lets you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then upgrade once you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams too and will have better weight distribution so they're often easier to manoeuvre. prams pushchairsandprams are compact, easy 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 are two seats or bassinets that face each other. They are generally smaller than side by side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They don't have as much storage and are difficult to access when both seats are used particularly when your child is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, especially in the case of children close 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 a second seat. It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams can be found in many configurations. For example, an infant can be put in a bassinet at the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Many can be converted into a travel system with the addition of an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.
A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to share a ride and converse as they go. This will prevent them from fighting or wake each other up.
A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to be part of the activities. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to around 4 years of age. 4 years old. A majority of single prams allow 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 through.
Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying a double option such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until you have your second child and then convert it to a tandem inline double pram when the second baby is born. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.
In-line or tandem double prams may be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams however, they are still much easier to manoeuvre on busy footpaths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use when jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.
Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams but are a good option for families with two children of similar age. They can 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 have to buy a new pram or stroller for your youngest child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seat and will require to be transferred to a toddler's chair which can be expensive.
