Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. But getting your family ready for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

The best travel pushchair double pram is one of them. This article will explain the options available and also provide suggestions to help you select the best childs pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with a single buggy, and then upgrade when you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams and will have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: Compact, easy to use and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children and parents in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats for prams which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams and are more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. However, they don't have enough storage space, and can be more difficult to access when both seats are in use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of a second seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations and include the option for infants to sleep in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system by putting a car capsule in the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take the ride in tandem and have fun while they travel. This will prevent them from wake each other up.

A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to be part of the enjoyable. They can push chairs and prams both children aroundweight-travel-stroller-only-5-9kg-compact-foldable-lay-flat-17.jpg">Non-convertible side by side prams are not suitable for use in single mode. You will have to buy a new pram bags or stroller for your youngest child. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than convertible double prams, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main downside is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be transferred to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
