Comfort
A double pram pushchair is an excellent investment if you're expecting a second baby or if your toddler has already become an avid walker.

It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are the same and you should choose the best one that is suitable for your needs.
Double prams that have side by side seats allow your children to communicate and meet when they go for a walk. They are generally larger than single prams and might not be able to fit through some doors. They may also be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shopping malls. They also tend to be heavier when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are slightly more maneuverable, but they aren't as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold since the seat is often further away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts once you are ready to use them. They are also more expensive than a double side-byside pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a double convertible pram as a way to ensure their investment and to use it in single or double mode, depending on the needs of your family.
