Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents with more than one child. They are typically convertible and allow you to attach another seat as well as a bassinet or car capsule.
This sleek and light pram is able to be transformed to a twin with a clever frame which expands in size. It can also fit 2 carrycots, infant chairs or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with windows that peek out.
Comfort
A double pram pushchair is an excellent investment if you are expecting a second child or if your toddler has already become an avid walker. You may find yourself taking them on long family walks or even day trips. It's crucial to keep in mind that not all double pram is created equal and it's crucial to choose the right one for your needs.
Side by side double prams offer 2 seats next to each other so that your children can see each other and interact whilst on a walk. They are usually wider than single prams and might not be able to fit through certain doors. They can also be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centres. They are also heavier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, however they aren't as wide. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is usually farther away from the handle and they may have more parts to assemble when you're ready to use them again. They are also more expensive than a double side-by-side pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose an convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase and have the option of using it in single or double mode depending on your family's requirements. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded, and might not fit your child after they've outgrown their seat. Do some research before buying.

Tandem prams however provide more room for seating and also a place for the child to sit or stand on a toddler's board while the parent pushes them.
