Comfort

If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is a walking warrior and you've noticed that you're taking family walks or on full-day outings with them, a double pram pushchair might be an essential investment for you. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike, and you need to pick the right one that is suitable for your needs.

Double prams that are side by side have two seats adjacent to each other, so that your children can see each other and engage with one another on a walk. They tend to be wider than single prams and may not fit through some doors. They may also be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They are also generally bulkier when folded.

Tandem (in-line) double prams are a bit easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is usually further away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts when you are ready to use them. They are also more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.
