Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. Preparing your family for the new baby can be a challenge.

One of these is selecting the right double pram for your needs. This article will review the options available and provide some suggestions on how to select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent option. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 twin pushchairs expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with just a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams and will have better weight distribution so they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double cheap prams

The name suggests that tandem prams come with two seats or pram bassinets that are aligned one in front of the other. They are generally smaller than side-by-side double prams and are easier to manoeuvre through doorways and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are being used particularly when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's initially a single stroller, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller simply by adding the second seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations and include the option for an infant to lie in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made an a travel stroller system by putting an automobile capsule to the top seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram allows both kids to take a ride together and play as they go. This can prevent them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated close to one another means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side can be an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in on the fun - they can both push the kids around and help out with shopping, running errands and attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram making them an excellent way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is only capable of accommodating one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is suitable for newborns up to about 4 years old. age. four years old. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the kind of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back, so that a child can stand or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing a double option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have a second child and then convert it to a tandem inline double pram double (right here on Elaivizh) when the second baby arrives. This will save you the cost and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a little wider than side-by-side double prams, but they are still more maneuverable on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use while running and will 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 but are a good option when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age. They will be able to view and interact with one another from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a different 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 since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-by-side seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's seat, which can be costly.
