Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. However, preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

Selecting the best double pram is one of them. This article will go over the various options available and offer some tips on how to choose the ideal pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great choice when you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width 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 enables you to start your family out with a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other styles. They also have better weight distribution, making them more maneuverable. Pros: Simple to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children when compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies the term "pushchair twin pram (he said)" refers to two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. However they don't offer as much storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in case they have children of the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy and can be upgraded to a twin stroller by the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back into one pram once your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations with the option of an infant to lie in a pram bassinet on top while an older child sits in the seat below. They can also be transformed into a travel stroller system by adding a car capsule placed in the top seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to ride together and converse as they go. This will stop them from fighting or getting up.

A side-by-side can be the perfect choice for grandparents who want to get in on the fun. They can carry both children around and help out with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years of age. A majority of single prams allow for a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that another child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to ensure their pram is future-proofed by acquiring a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode while you have a single child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two is born. This saves you the cost and stress of purchasing a separate double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams, but they are still easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. They can be harder to use when jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.

Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a great option when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age. They will be able to view and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side by sides are not suitable for use in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your smaller child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams because they aren't built to be used in both single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your older child may quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require a change to a toddler's seat. This can be costly.
