The news that you're about to have the birth of a child is one of the most exciting times in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will have to make a number of choices regarding how to prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design that feature two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

However, a drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is usually less stable than a twin pram, particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.
