Your cart is empty
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 will we manage daily life with two young children? In this article, we will address the topic of choosing astroller, which will vary depending on the age difference between your children. Whether it'sa single,double,orconvertible stroller,you'll chooseitprimarily because it makes your life easier.
Single strollers with removable footrests
Do you love your current stroller and don't want to change it? Then you can usethe removable footrest. In fact, there's no need to invest in a new stroller, you just need to buy the accessory. However, this footrest has advantages and disadvantages.
Let's start with the positive:
- Cost: a much smaller investment since, depending on the brand, the price of a footrest varies between $32 and $196 (models with small seats).
- Removability: the step can be removed and reinstalled with varying degrees of ease depending on the model.
However, this option has several drawbacks:
- Lack of safety: the child placed on the platform is not secured.
- His position: the child, standing or sitting on the platform, is behind the stroller and therefore has no visibility of the road.
- Its lack of practicality: very uncomfortable for the parent pushing the stroller, who ends up having to walk to one side or far behind the stroller to avoid tripping over the footrest.
- Maneuverability: it is difficult to cross curbs without asking your child to get on and off.
- Its size: you need to remove the board to fold the stroller.
Please note that the stool option is more suitable for children over 2 years old. It is not ideal for younger children.
In short, a more suitable solution for older children or to avoid buying a new stroller.
Double strollers and convertible strollers
The second solution highlights two products:the double strollerandthe convertible stroller. Do you think it has more advantages or disadvantages?
First, the double stroller.
This stroller is recommended for very young children who are not yet walking. It is ideal for children aged 11 to 15 months who still take long naps!
Its main advantage:
- Comfort: with room for two children, either side by side or one behind the other, the double stroller allows each child to enjoy their own reclining seat. No more jealousy, and naptime is guaranteed!
Disadvantages:
- Due to its size—generally wide and bulky—the double stroller is not ideal for everyday use, whether for walks around town or for carrying it in the trunk of the 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...
We're going to arrive at... The convertible stroller .
The convertible stroller, a new category of stroller that has emerged in recent years, was created to make traveling with children of similar ages easier.
Its strengths:
- Durability: usable from birth in single or double size
- Its modularity: it can accommodate two children of different ages, offering numerous configuration options (car seat, carrycot, classic seat, which can be adapted to your needs).
Its negative points:
- The lack of visibility of both children at the same time. In addition, one of them is usually at ground level.
- Its dimensions: the convertible stroller is bulky and difficult to maneuver because its frame is almost exactly the same as that of a double stroller.

Single or double stroller in a single click: the Limo
Finally, we will conclude this article by introducing youto theVidiamo Limo, designed specifically for children of similar ages. The only stroller in the world that converts from single to double with a single click, designed by a mother for you, mothers and fathers. It meets all your needs: a single stroller that converts to a double anytime, anywhere!
Its advantages:
- Thanks to its ten different configurations ( https://www.vidiamo.com/pages/tutoriel-assemblage-et-utilisation-limo# ), the Limo offers the comfort your children need. Suitable for one or two children, it consists of a main seat with four positions, including a fully reclined position (suitable from birth) and a retractable folding seat (suitable from 12 months).
- Approved for use from birth, you can place your newborn directly in the main seat (facing forward), in a soft and lightweight bassinet, or in a car seat (find the list of compatible seats on the car seat adapters product page).
- Super narrow (only 49 cm wide), it maintains the dimensions of a compact single stroller, offering the comfort and safety of a double stroller. In total, the Limo supports a weight of up to 36 kg, adjustable to your needs! Therefore, it is suitable for both newborns and older children.
- The telescopic chassis allows you to have both a single and a double stroller without having to choose.
- The folding seat can be used as an extra bed (so that the child can sleep with their legs fully extended), as a changing table, as XXL storage space, or, finally, as a genuine second seat.
- Safety is optimal thanks to the folding seat's 5-point harness, just like the main seat. Your child, from 12 months old, will have a suitable seat and can fully enjoy the front view.
- You can discover their range of innovative accessories ( https://www.vidiamo.com/collections/accessoires-limo ) on our website, and you may find them appealing!
Disadvantages:
- The auxiliary seat is as comfortable as the main seat, but it only has one sitting position.
- Despite its ultra-easy and practical folding mechanism (the folded stroller remains upright), its folded size does not allow it to be carried as cabin luggage.
The Limo is the perfect compromise for parents looking for comfort, safety, and practicality in a single stroller without having to constantly carry around a double stroller.
