Buying a Convertible Single to Double stroller newborn
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 difficult.
One of them is deciding on the right double childs pram for your requirements. This article will discuss the options available and offer some guidelines on how you can select the right one for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great alternative. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate an additional seat. They also come with the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to begin your family with a single buggy, and then expand when you have twins. Double prams provide more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other types of. They also have better weight distribution, making them easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use, compact and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children when compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name implies, tandem prams come with two seats or pram bassinets which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. They do not have as much storage and are difficult to access when both seats are used especially when your child is in the front seat.
Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller if your child is older and outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of infants to sleep in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Many can be transformed into a best travel pram system by adding the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.
A side-by-side double lightweight stroller allows both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will help prevent the two from fighting or getting up.
A side-byside is also the perfect choice for grandparents who want to get in on the fun. They can both push the kids around and assist with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're often less expensive than a tandem pram so they can be ideal for introducing grandkids to babysitting duties.
Single prams
A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is typically suitable from newborn up to around. Four years old. Many single prams allow toddler boards (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) to be attached to the back so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then switch it into a tandem double Pram Double after baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and burden of having to purchase a separate double pram.
Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.
They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great option if your children are in the same age range. Children can see each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and may not fit through standard doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will need to buy another pram or a stroller for your children's younger ones. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert since they were not intended to be used in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your child will soon outgrow the side-by-side seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's seat, which can be costly.
