Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. The preparation for your family's new addition can be challenging.

The best double pram is among the most important things to consider. This article will review the options available and provide some suggestions on how you can select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is an excellent choice if you want a pram to grow with your family. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate an additional seat. They also have the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then upgrade once you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams too and will have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: Simple to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams have two seats or pram bassinets which are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams travel system, and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't have much storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are being used, especially when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in case they have children with the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller by the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations, including the option for infants to sleep in a bassinet of the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into an a travel system by putting car capsules to the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids enjoy the ride together and interact as they go. This will prevent the two from fighting or wake each other up.

A side-byside is also the ideal choice for grandparents who want to join in on the fun. They can push both kids around and assist with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are usually cheaper than a tandem pram, which makes them a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years old. A majority of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back, so that a second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by buying a double option like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on sidewalks and in stores. They can be harder to use when jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.

Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams. They are a great option for families with 2 children close in age - the children will be able to see and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and might not fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by sides are not suitable for use in single mode - you must purchase a different Pram Double or stroller for your younger child. They are cheaper and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not intended to be used in double and single mode. The main disadvantage is that your older child could rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and need to be moved to a toddler's seat. This can be expensive.
