Comfort
If you’re expecting a new child or your toddler is already an avid walker and you’ve noticed that you’re going on family walks or on full-day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair might be a must-have for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike and you must choose the best one that fits your needs.
Double prams with side-by-side seats let your children be together and interact while walking. They tend to be wider than single prams, and may not be able to pass through certain doorways. They can also be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shopping malls. They also weigh more when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, but not as narrow. They can be more difficult to fold since the seat is usually farther away from the handle, and they may contain more components to put together when you’re ready to use them again. They are also more expensive than a double side-by-side pram.
