Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. But the process of preparing your family for the arrival of this new baby comes with its own set of obstacles.
One of them is choosing the right double pram for your requirements. This article will go over the options available and offer some guidelines on how to choose the best pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate an additional seat. They also have the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This lets you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams too and will have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver. They are compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children compared to some other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double good prams
Like the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two seats or bassinets that face one another. They are generally smaller than side by side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't have the same amount of storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are used particularly when your child is sitting in the front.
Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially in the case of children close in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted 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 can be found in many configurations. For example an 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. Most can also be transformed into a travel system with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top seat.
For the ultimate flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and have fun while they travel. This will help prevent them from fighting or wake each other up.
A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents who want to participate in the fun. They can be used to 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 only capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to around 4 years of age. 4 years of age. A majority of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back, so that another child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram Double by purchasing a double-pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have one child, and then change it into a tandem double pram when baby number two arrives. This saves you the cost and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.
Tandem or in-line double prams are bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use during running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.
They are wider than tandem or in-line double prams However, they are an excellent choice when your children are in the same age range. Children can view each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to purchase a new pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert, because they were not intended to be used in double and single modes. The biggest drawback is that your child will soon outgrow the side-by-side seat and will need to be moved to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
