Comfort
If you’re planning to have a second child or your toddler is already an avid walker and you’ve found yourself going on family walks or long day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair (click through the next website) could be a must-have for you. It’s important to keep in mind that not all double prams are created equal and you must pick the right one that fits your needs.
Double prams with side by side seats allow your children to interact and see each other while walking. However, they are generally larger than single prams and, therefore, may not fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy streets and in shopping centres. They can also be larger when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but not as narrow. They can be more difficult to fold because the seat is usually further away from the handle and they may have more parts to assemble when you’re ready to use them again. They also cost more than a double side-byside pram.
Some parents who are new to the world choose a double convertible pram in order to ensure their investment and to use it in double or single mode, based on the needs of your family. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded and might not fit your toddler after they have outgrown their pram seat. Do some research before purchasing.

If you’re looking to pick a side by side double pram or one that is the front of each other, there are plenty of options to consider.
The most sought-after option for double prams is a convertible model. They begin as a single stroller but can be transformed to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot, or an infant car seat. They are ideal for parents who have two children that are close to their age and want to secure their purchase in the future.
Tandem prams on the contrary, provide more flexibility in seating and allow for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. They’re not foolproof as long as sibling rivalries are concerned, however it’s advisable to avoid putting them in the same place at the same time as much as possible.

It can be used for two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats when your older child is old enough.
Other options that are stylish include the Babybee LUNA pram. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for infants from birth up to age five. Both seats can be reclined independently in a flat position. The LUNA can be used with the cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or with two car seats, and it conforms to all Australian safety standards.
These double prams can be a good choice for families with close-aged children. These prams can be slightly wider than other double buggies, and are more difficult to navigate on busy footpaths, or on kerbs that go up and down.
