They are also more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They do not have the same amount of storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are being used particularly if your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in case they have children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be upgraded to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child sits in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be made a travel pram system by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.

Many 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.

Some first-time parents decide to protect their pram double (click to find out more) from future damage purchase by purchasing a double option such as our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have a second child and then convert it into a tandem double pram once the second baby arrives. This will avoid the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams but they are still easier to manoeuvre on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double prams however they are an excellent choice if your children are close in age. They can see each the other and interact from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem compact strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or stroller for your children who are younger. They offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-by-side seat and will have to be moved to a toddler's chair which could be costly.
