Comfort

If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is already an avid walker and you've been taking family walks or full day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair might be a great investment for you. However, it's important to remember that not every double pram is created equal and it's essential to select the one that is best suited to your needs.

Double prams that are side by side offer 2 seats next to each other, so that your children can view each other and engage with one another walking. However, they are generally larger than single prams, and, therefore, may not fit through some doorways or be difficult to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shopping centres. They are also heavier when folded.

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

Some first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram to ensure their purchase is secure for the future and have the option of using it in either double or single mode, based on your family's requirements. However, they can be very large and bulky when folded and may not be suitable for your child as they grow out of their pram seat. Be sure to conduct a thorough research prior to purchasing.
