Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name implies, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats for prams that are aligned one over the other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side-by-side double prams and can be easier to manoeuvre through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer enough storage space, and can be more difficult to access when both seats are being used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.
Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially when they're planning to have more children that are similar in age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram which starts life as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin 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 can be found in many designs. For example the infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made a travel system by adding a car capsule in the top seat.

A side-by-side can be the ideal choice for grandparents who want to get in on the fun - they can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

A single pram is able to accommodate one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants up to about 4 years old. age. four years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you select) to be tacked to the back so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.
Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future by purchasing a double-pram double option, like our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have a second child and then switch it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby arrives. This will save you the hassle and cost of purchasing a separate double stroller.
In-line or tandem double prams can be a little wider than side-byside double prams but they are still more maneuverable on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.
They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great choice if your children are close in age. The children can view each other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as mobile and might not be able to fit through doors as easily as tandem strollers.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to purchase a new childs pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. They are less expensive and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not intended to be used in double and single modes. The biggest drawback is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be transferred to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
