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 baby pram can be difficult.

The choice of the best travel pram double stroller is one of them. This article will discuss what options are available, as well as some tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option when you're looking for a pram to grow with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second child and usually come with the option of an additional shopping basket or two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) to allow you to start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to buy a new one once more. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams too and offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Easy to use compact and flexible. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams tend to be narrower than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are being used when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, particularly in the case of children that are similar in age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's designed as an individual buggy and can be converted into a twin stroller by adding a second seat. It also converts back into a single pram when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations with the option of infants to sleep in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel unit by incorporating a car capsule placed in the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both children take a ride together and play as they go. This will stop them from fighting or getting up.

A side-by-side is also the perfect choice for grandparents looking to join in the fun. They can push both kids around and help out with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're often less expensive than a tandem pram, making them an excellent way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is usually suitable from birth through to approx. four years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board (depending on the type of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back, so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller compact.

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 a second child and then convert it into a tandem double Pram Double when the second baby arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of purchasing an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a little wider than side-by-side double prams but they are still easier to manoeuvre on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when climbing or descending hills.

Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a great option if you plan to have two children who are similar in age. The children 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 fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a different pram or stroller for your children who are younger. However, they offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than double prams that convert, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child could soon outgrow a side-byside and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
