Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. Making preparations for your family's new addition can be challenging.

The best double pram is among them. This article will review the options available and provide some tips on how to select the ideal pram 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 option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option of an additional shopping basket, or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) so that you can start your family with one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without needing to buy a new one again. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other models. They also offer more evenly distributed weight which makes them easier to move around. Pros: Easy to use small and compact. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children as compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "pushchair twin pram" refers to two bassinets or seats that face one another. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and can be difficult to access when both seats are being used especially when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment should they have children with the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It is also able to be converted back to a single stroller if your child reaches the age of buggy.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations and include the option for infants to be placed in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel unit by adding an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both children take a ride together and have fun while they travel. This will help prevent the two from fighting or wake each other up.

A side-by-side is the best option for grandparents looking to be part of the fun. They can carry both children around and help with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem pram, which makes them a great way to introduce grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow 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's board to be connected to the back so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some first-time parents choose to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have your second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram once the second baby arrives. This will avoid the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they can be more difficult to use during running, and Twin Stroller require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a good choice if you plan to have two children who are similar in age. They can see and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or a stroller to accommodate your children's younger ones. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child could quickly outgrow a side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
