Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

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 obstacles.

One of them is choosing the most suitable double pram to meet your needs. This article will discuss the options available and also provide tips to help you choose the best Pram Double for your growing family.

Convertible double sale prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great option when you're looking for a pram to expand with your family. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option for 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 then upgrade to twins without the need to purchase a new one and again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams and have better weight distribution so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use small and compact. Cons: It takes up less space and storage space for both children as in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that are positioned one over the other. They are generally smaller than side-by-side double prams, and are easier to manoeuvre through doors and on public transport. However they don't have as much storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially when they're planning to have more children close in age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram newborn which starts life as a single buggy and can be upgraded to a twin stroller by the addition of a second seat. It also converts back into one pram once your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to a travel system prams system by adding car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double foldable stroller allows both children to share a ride and talk as they go. This will stop the two from fighting or waking eachother up.

A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to get involved in the fun. They can push both children and help with shopping, running pushchair errands or even attending events. They are usually less expensive than a tandem pram, so they can be an excellent way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is usually suitable from birth through to approx. 4 years of age. A majority of single prams allow a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some first-time parents decide to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have your second child, and then switch it into a tandem double pram when the second baby arrives. This will avoid the hassle and cost of purchasing an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a little wider than side-byside double prams however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. They can be difficult to use when jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double prams however they are a great option if your children are similar in age. The children can see each one another and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. However, they offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child may quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require a change into a toddler's chair. This can be expensive.
