Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats facing each other. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side-by-side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doors and public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and are more difficult to access when both seats are being used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin pushchair stroller with the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted back to one pram once your older child is no longer able to use it.
Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations and include the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to a travel system by adding a car capsule in the top seat.
A side-by-side double stroller lets the children to ride together and talk as they go. This can prevent getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated near to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.
A side-by-side can be an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in on the fun. They can carry both children around and help out with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, which makes them a great choice for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram and car seat is only capable of accommodating one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to around 4 years of age. 4 years of age. Many single prams also allow for a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that a second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.
Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means you'll use the pram in single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem double pram Double once bub number two is born. This will save you the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double stroller.
In-line or tandem double prams can be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams, but they are still more maneuverable on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when you're climbing or descending hills.
Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams, but they are a good prams option for families with 2 children close in age. The children will be able to view and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or a stroller for your children's younger ones. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't designed to be used both in double and single mode. The main drawback is that your older child might rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and require to be shifted to a toddler's seat. This can be expensive.
