The arrival of a second child in the family can sometimes be a source of anxiety and leads us to ask ourselves additional logistical questions: how are we going to manage daily life with two young children? In this article we will therefore address the subject of choosing the rightstroller for you , which will vary according to the age range of your children. Whether it is single, double or evolving, you will choose it above all to make your life easier.

Single strollers with removable steps

Do you love your current stroller and don't want to change? Then you can turn to the removable footboard. There is no need to reinvest in a new stroller, just buy the accessory. However, this footboard has both advantages and disadvantages.

Let's start with the positive:

  • Its cost: a much lower investment because, depending on the brand, the price of a footboard varies between 32 and 196 euros (models with a small saddle).
  • Removability: the footboard can be removed and reinstalled more or less easily depending on the model.

However, this option has several drawbacks:

  • Its lack of security: the child placed on the platform is not secured.
  • Its position: the child standing or sitting on the platform is behind the stroller and therefore has no visibility on the road.
  • Its impracticality: very inconvenient for the parent driving the stroller, who finds himself having to walk on the side or far behind the stroller to avoid getting caught on the step.
  • Manoeuvrability: difficult to cross the sidewalks without asking your child to go up and down.
  • Its size: the board must be removed to fold the stroller.

Attention, the step option is more suitable for children over 2 years old. Underneath, it is not ideal!

In short, a more suitable solution for children who are already grown up or to avoid buying a new stroller.

 

 

Double and Evolutionary Strollers

The second solution features two products: the double stroller and the upgradeable stroller. In your opinion, are there more advantages or disadvantages?

First of all, the stroller doubles.

This stroller is recommended for toddlers who are not yet walking. It is ideal for children from 11 to 15 months who still nap a lot!

Its main advantage:

  • Comfort: The double stroller can accommodate two children side by side or one behind the other. The double stroller allows each child to benefit from its own backrest inclination. No more problems with jealousy and a nap guaranteed!

Its drawbacks:

  • Its dimensions: most of the time wide and bulky, the double stroller is not ideal for everyday use, whether it's for city walks or having to fit it in the boot of your car.
  • Its configuration: more practical for twins, the double stroller is less practical for children of different ages. The two fixed seats may not always be necessary...

Let's come to the evolutionary stroller.

A new category of stroller in recent years, the evolutionary stroller was born to facilitate travel with children of similar ages.

Its positive points:

  • Its durability: can be used from birth in single or double use.
  • Its modularity: capable of accommodating two children of different ages by offering a wide variety of configurations (car seat, bassinet, classic seat, to be modulated according to your desires).

His negative points:

  • His lack of visibility on both children at the same time. In addition, one of the two children is often at ground level.
  • Dimensions: the stroller is bulky and difficult to handle because its chassis is more or less the same as that of a double stroller.

Single to double stroller in one click: the Limo

Finally, we will end this article by presenting you the Limo by Vidiamo, designed specifically for children of similar ages. The only stroller in the world that goes from single to double in one click, it was imagined by a mom for you, moms and dads. It is the perfect answer to all your needs: a single stroller that converts from single to double anytime and anywhere!

 

Its advantages:

  • Thanks to its ten different combinations(https://www.vidiamo.com/pages/tutoriel-assemblage-et-utilisation-limo#), the limo offers the comfort your children need. It can accommodate one or two children and consists of a main seat with four positions, one of which is reclining (approved from birth) and a retractable folding seat (can be used from 12 months).
  • Approved from birth, you can put a newborn baby either directly in the main seat (facing the road), in a soft and lightweight bassinet or in a car seat (find the list of compatible seats in the car seat adapters product page).
  • Super narrow (only 49cm wide), it fits the dimensions of a compact single stroller while offering the comfort and safety of a double stroller. In total, the Limo supports a weight of up to 36 kilos, adjustable according to your desires! This makes it suitable for both newborns and older children.
  • Its telescopic frame allows you to have either a single stroller or a double stroller without having to choose between 
  • The jump seat can be used to make a cot (so that a child can sleep with his legs fully extended), a changing table, XXL storage, or finally a real second seat.
  • Safety is optimal because the folding seat has a 5-point harness like the main seat. Your child, from 12 months of age, will have a real seat and will be able to take full advantage of the view while sitting in the front seat.
  • Its range of innovative accessories(https://www.vidiamo.com/collections/accessoires-limo) is to be discovered on our site and may seduce you dangerously!

Its drawbacks:

  • The folding seat is as comfortable as the main seat but has only one sitting position.
  • Despite being very easy and practical to fold (the folded stroller stands upright), its folded size does not allow it to be carried as carry-on luggage.

The Limo is the perfect balance for parents looking for comfort, safety and convenience in a single stroller without the constant burden of a double stroller.
