Comfort
A double pram pushchair is a great investment if you are expecting a new baby or the toddler is already an avid walker.

However, it's important to remember that not every double pram is created equal and it's crucial to choose the one that is best suited to your lifestyle.
Double prams with side by side seats let your children communicate and meet when they go for a walk. However, they tend to be larger than single prams and, therefore, may not fit through some doorways or be difficult to maneuver on busy streets
push chairs and prams in shopping centers. They also tend to be heavier when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are slightly easier to manoeuvre but not as narrow as single prams. They can be more difficult to fold as the seat is generally farther away from the handle, and they may contain more components to assemble when you're ready to use them again. They also cost more than a double side by side pram.

triple pram seat so be careful to do some thorough research prior to purchasing.
