Comfort

Double prams that are side by side have two seats adjacent to each other, so that your children can see each other and interact whilst on a walk. However, they tend to be wider than single prams and therefore may not fit through certain doors or be difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shopping centers. They are also generally bulkier when folded.

Tandem (in-line) double prams are a little more maneuverable, but they aren't as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold since the seat is typically further away from the handle. Also, they may require more components when you are ready to use them. They also cost more than a double side by side pram.

Tandem double buggies are generally wider overall than a single pram pushchair, but it's essential to check the measurements prior to buying.
