Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that feature two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side.

Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.
A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is generally less stable than a twin pram particularly if the older child is seated at the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

There are many aspects to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the second seat below.
Certain models come with reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family during the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey as they walk.

Most convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our reviewers thought it was a bit heavy for the money.
Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, though it requires a bit of practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than Double Prams With Adjustable Footrest strollers.
Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great choice for infants.

The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in various positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the older child to climb off and on, to allow them to reach things in the basket of groceries.
The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that it was balanced by how easy it is to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to chat and have conversations when out and out and about.
The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is small and features self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the price is low. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've examined, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seat.
The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. They're also shorter which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
