Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. The preparation for your family's new baby can be difficult.

One of these is selecting the best double pram for your needs. This article will go over the options available and offer some tips on how to select the ideal pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a parent facing pram that will grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great alternative. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can start your family with one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new one again. They usually have more configurations and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and will offer better weight distribution, so they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: compact travel stroller, 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 suggests, tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer the same amount of storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of a second seat. It also converts back into a single pram when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs. For instance the infant can be put in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel system by adding the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both kids enjoy the ride together and interact as they go. This will stop them from fighting or wake each other up.

A side-byside is also the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in on the fun - they can carry both children around and help out with shopping, running pushchair errands, or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, which makes them a great option for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth until around. Four years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back so that another child can stand or sit while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in a single mode while you have one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good choice for families with 2 children close in age. They can see and interact with one another from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers, and may not fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a new pram or stroller for your younger children. They offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be moved to a toddler's seat, which can be costly.
