Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However the process of preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.
The choice of the
best travel pushchair double stroller is among them. This article will explain the different options available, as well as some tips to help you choose the right one for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and later upgrade to twins without the need to purchase a new pram once more. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other styles. They also have better weight distribution making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use compact and flexible. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children as in comparison to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats facing each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams, and are easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. However they don't have as much storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are in use in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose tandem strollers to protect their investment should they have more children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be converted to a
pushchair twin stroller through the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your older child is no longer able to use it.
Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs. For instance an infant can be put in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into an a
travel stroller system by putting a car capsule in the top seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and talk as they go. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting next to each other makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles with ease.
A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents who want to participate in the enjoyable. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem pram so they can be ideal for introducing grandparents to babysitting duties.
Single prams
A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to approximately 4 years of age. Four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that another child can stand or pushchairs travel systems (

Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double-pram option, like our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until the time you have your second child, and then convert it into a tandem double pram when your second baby is born. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram double (

In-line or tandem double prams can be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams but they are still easier to manoeuvre on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. They can be difficult to use when jogging and require more effort to push up or down hills.
Side by side prams are much more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a good option when you are planning to have two children of similar age - the children will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and may not pass through standard doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not usable in single mode. You will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your smaller child. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-by-side seat and will require to be moved to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
