The name suggests that tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats which are positioned one in front of the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They do not have the same amount of storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are in use, especially when your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem foldable stroller to ensure the future of their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children that are similar in age.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations, including the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet for the pram on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into a travel system by adding car capsules to the top seat.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

This means that you can use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem double pram double, go here, when baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and stress of purchasing a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. They are more difficult to use when jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers however they are an excellent choice for children who are similar in age. They can see each other and interact from their seats. However, they are less 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 will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert, because they were not intended to be used in single and double mode. The main downside is that your child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be transferred to a toddler seat which could be costly.
