A pram double pushchair is a great option for families with twins, or a baby and toddler. Double buggys, or twin prams, as they are commonly referred to, come in many different configurations that will fit any family. Some are side-byside, while others have one front and the other back for narrow spaces. Some can be converted to single prams when your children outgrow them. This makes them an ideal choice for growing families.

They are easier to steer than tandem twin buggies since the front wheels can be locked to provide additional stability. They also have more storage space behind them.

They're still maneuverable, but many have recline seats that are independent, which means both kids can sit up straight or in a snooze-position.
