They also offer the option of adding a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters).

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats for prams that are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't offer much storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are in use especially if your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially if they're planning on more children that are similar in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of a second seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller if your child reaches the age of buggy.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations and include the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system by putting car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets both children to ride together and converse as they go. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting next to each other means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to get involved in the enjoyable. They can push both children around and assist with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem stroller, making them ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth up to around. Four years old. Many single prams also allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to future-proof the pram they purchase by buying double options, such as our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until you have your second child, and then convert it into a tandem double pram when the second baby is born. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of purchasing a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded pedestrian paths and in shops. They are more difficult to use when jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.

Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good choice when you are planning to have 2 children close in age. They can see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through doors as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-byside pushchairs prams can only be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram double or a stroller for your younger children. They have the advantage of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, as they are not built to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-by-side seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
