Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller
There are few things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. The preparation for your family's new baby can be difficult.
Selecting the best double pram double is one of the most important things to consider. This article will cover the options available, as well as some tips to help you choose the right one for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great choice for those who want a stroller to expand with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new pram and again. These double cheap prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other styles. They also have a more evenly distributed weight which makes them easier to move around. Pros: Simple to use compact and flexible. Cons: It takes up less space and storage space for both children in comparison to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
The name suggests that tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats for prams that are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side by side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. They don't have as much storage and are difficult to access when both seats are in use, especially if your child is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in the event that they have more children of the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller by the addition of an additional seat. It is also possible to convert it to a single stroller if your child is older and outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most can also be converted into a travel system by incorporating a car capsule placed in the top seat.
A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and talk as they go. This can help to avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting close to one another means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.
A side-byside is also the perfect choice for grandparents looking to join in on the fun. They can both push the kids around, and help with shopping, running errands and attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram is only able to allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth up to around. four years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on which type of toddler board you select) to be attached to the back so that another child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.
Some first-time parents decide to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double-pram pushchair option, like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have a single child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of purchasing an additional double stroller.
Tandem or in-line double prams for newborns are bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.
They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great choice when your children are close in age. Children can see each other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and might not fit through standard doors as easily.
Non-convertible side by side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your youngest child. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers because they weren't designed to be used both in single and double mode. The main drawback is that your child could soon outgrow a side-byside and require a change into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
