Types of double prams
Whether you’ve been blessed with twins or you’re looking for a stroller to transport your baby and toddler together, you’re going to need a double pram.
There are three main double pram styles: side-by-side, tandem or single-seaters with an attachment. Here’s what you need to know about each of them.
Side-by-side pram
A side-by-side pram can be used for twin babies, a toddler and a baby or two toddlers, making it a versatile option. As the name suggests, the side-by-side pram has two seats placed next to each other – just make sure both of the seats recline individually. This type of pram is great so parents can see both of their babies at the same time. However, they tend to be bigger and heavier, making manoeuvring them a mission in certain situations.
Tandem pram
A tandem pram can be used with a baby and toddler or two toddlers. However, we don’t recommend using a tandem pram for twin babies. Babies under six months shouldn’t be placed in a stroller seat unless the backrest can be reclined more than 130°. While it’s common for the back seat of a tandem pram to recline, it’s rare to find one with a reclining front seat. Parents love this type of pram as it’s narrower than a side-by-side pram. However, it can be heavy. One con is that it’s harder to keep an eye on the child upfront.
Single-seater with attachment
This type of pram involves buying a single pram and adding a toddler seat attachment later. A big advantage to this pram is that you don’t have to buy a new later if you’re planning for more children. When choosing a single-seater with an attachment, make sure you read the manufacturer instructions before using. Not using it properly could lead to the pram being unbalanced.
Features to consider before buying a pram
Weight and size
As mentioned above, double prams can be heavy and tricky to manoeuvre even without your kids in it. Make sure you can comfortably lift the pram in and out of the car and upstairs etc. before buying.
Brakes
Make sure the pram you choose has brakes that are easy for you to reach, but out of the way of little hands.
Safety
Look for products certified to Safety Standard AS/NZS 2088, and do a quick Google search to make sure the model you are looking at hasn’t been recalled.
Five-point harness
Children under five should wear a five-point harness in a pram that goes over the shoulders, around the waist and between the legs.
