When you’ve more than one child, a double pram can be a lifesaver. It can help you walk long distances, explore for longer, or just give your children somewhere to rest when their little legs get tired.

Can You Put a Newborn in a Double Pram?
Yes, there are plenty of double prams that are suitable for newborns. The most important thing is whether your baby can lie flat on their back; they need to travel this way in their first three months. Suitable prams will let you lie the seat flat, or some of them will let you attach a carrycot accessory.
We offer a number of excellent double prams that are suitable for newborns and will keep them safe and comfortable.
What is a Tandem Pram?
A tandem pram solves the problem of a wide double pram by putting one seat in front of the other, like a tandem bike. This makes the pram easier to manoeuvre and means you can get through narrow doorways and spaces that a double pushchair just wouldn’t fit through.
Do I Need a Double Pram?
Whether you need a double pram all depends on what use you’ll get out of it.
If you tend to do most of your travelling by car, you might find a double pram is more inconvenient than not. But if you do a lot of walking, the convenience of a double pram will be vital to getting about.
The age of your children is another factor to bear in mind. If your children are close in age or twins, a double pram will make it easy to transport both of them (as well as everything else you need to take with you as a parent!)
Do I Need a Double Pram for a Newborn and a Toddler?
You might find your toddler is more interested in riding in the pushchair when they see their younger sibling using it. If so, a double pram will be vital to both keeping the peace and getting you to where you need to be.
Sitting in a double pram offers the ideal opportunity for siblings to bond and enjoy the world around them together. These bonding times will allow the relationship between your newborn and toddler to grow, which is exactly what every parent desires.
