Buying a Convertible Single to Double stroller compact

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things you can hear. However, preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

One of them is choosing the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will go over the options available and provide some suggestions on how to choose the ideal pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a pram that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These innovative frames, Pram Double such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams too and have better weight distribution so they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are easy to use small and compact. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer as much storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are used when your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have more children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's initially an individual buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller when your child reaches the age of buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in many configurations. For instance an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child is seated on the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel system by incorporating an automobile capsule that is placed on the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a double side-by-side pram allows both kids to enjoy the ride together and play as they go. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in on the fun. They can carry both children around and help out with shopping, running errands and attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem Pram double, which makes them ideal for introducing grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn up to around. four years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram once bub number two is born. This will save you the cost and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a little wider than side-by-side double prams, however, they are still much more maneuverable on busy footpaths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use while running and require more effort to push them up and down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double prams However, they are a great choice for children who are close in age. They are able to see each the other and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or a stroller for your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't intended to be used in single and double mode. The main downside is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be moved to a toddler seat, which can be costly.
