Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. Making preparations for your family's new baby can be difficult.

One of them is choosing the best double pram for your needs. This article will cover the options available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller (you can try Bravejournal) that will grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also have the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This lets you to begin your family 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, and will have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage space 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 for prams that are aligned one over the other. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are in use, especially when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, especially if they're planning on more children close in age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It starts out as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller once your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations, including the option for infants to sleep in a bassinet of the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams pushchairs are able to be converted into travel systems by adding car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows the children to ride together and converse as they go. This will prevent the two from fighting or getting up.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents who want to be part of the enjoyable. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem stroller, making them an excellent way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn until around. Four years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back, so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some first-time parents decide to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double-pram option, like our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have your second child, and then convert it into a tandem double pram once the second baby is born. This will save you the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and in stores. They can be difficult to use when jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great option when your children are close in age. Children can view each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and might not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by sides are not suitable for use in single mode. You will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your younger child. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't intended to be used in double and single modes. The main drawback is that your older child might quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This can be expensive.
