Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. However getting your family ready for this new addition is not without its own set of obstacles.

One of these is selecting the most suitable double pram to meet your needs. This article will discuss the various options available and offer some suggestions on how to select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate a second seat. They also have the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out with just a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies tandem prams have two bassinets or seats facing each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They do not have much storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are being used especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy and can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back to a single pram when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available in a range of configurations with the option of an infant to lie in a pram bassinet on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel system by adding a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to share a ride and talk as they go. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're seated close to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to get in on the fun - they can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands and attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. Four years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some first-time parents choose to secure their pram Double for the future by acquiring a double pram option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have your second child and then change it into a tandem double pram when the second baby is born. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double prams However, they are a great option when your children are close in age. The children can see each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and may not fit through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not suitable for use in single mode. You will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. However, they have the advantage of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams, as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child could quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler seat. This could be costly.
