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 a challenge.
Selecting the best double pram is among the most important things to consider. This article will discuss what options are available along with some suggestions to help you select the best pram for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a baby stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option of an additional shopping basket or even two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one and again. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other models. They also have better weight distribution which makes them more maneuverable. Pros: Compact, simple to use and adaptable. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children when compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name implies the term "twin pram double (
a cool way to improve)" refers to two bassinets or two seats facing each other. They are generally smaller than side-by-side double prams and are easier to manoeuvre through doorways and on public transport. However, they don't have as much storage space and may 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 new to parenting opt for a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It starts out as an individual buggy, but can be upgraded into a
twin pushchair stroller by adding the second seat. It is also possible to convert it to a single
stroller when your child reaches the age of buggy.
Tandem prams are available in a range of configurations and include the option for infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. They can also be converted into a
travel pushchair system with the addition of an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows the children to ride together and converse as they go. This will help avoid getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting next to each other makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.
A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to be part of the activities. They can be used to push both children around and help with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is typically suitable from newborn until around. four years old. Many single prams also allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.
Some parents who are new to the family decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by buying double options such as our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem double
pram and travel system after baby number two arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of buying an additional double stroller.
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams but are still more maneuverable on pedestrian paths and in shops. They can be difficult to use while jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.
Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams. They are a great option if you plan to have two children of similar age - the children can see and interact
pushchair with car seat each other from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and might not pass through standard doors as easily.
Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a new pram or stroller for your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers with convertibles, because they were not intended to be used in single and double mode. The main drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and will require to be moved to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
