Tandem (in-line) double prams
Like the name suggests, tandem prams are two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem pram to secure their investment, particularly in the case of children who are close to the age of. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single buggy and can be upgraded to a twin stroller by the addition of the second seat.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by buying a double option like our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double Pram double when the second baby is born.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a bit wider than side-byside double prams however they are still a lot more maneuverable on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when going up or down hills.
Side by side prams are much larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a good choice if you plan to have two children of similar age. The children will be able to view and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers, and may not fit through standard doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a new pram or a stroller to accommodate your younger children. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't designed to be used both in double and single modes. The main downside 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.
