There is a multitude of choices for parents when it comes to buying that most required of children's transport, the pram. With all the choices available it can be quite daunting choosing which would be the most suitable, this is especially the case when it comes to choosing a pram which needs to accommodate two children of different ages. The pram choice should ideally be based upon your children's ages, size and temperament, knowing these facts will aid your final choice of pram tremendously.
Prams for more than one child differ in style and layout and can be in the form of a specially made pram or one that can be adapted upon.
A specially made two child pram is known as a double pram which can be either side by side or tandem. A side by side pram enables both children to have full seats allowing easy accessibility for the parents, they also provide double the storage space, which with children you can never have enough of. However the size of a side by side pram can be disadvantageous, as it can cause manoeuvrability difficulties within shops with narrow aisles and they can be quite heavy and large when folded, they also enable your children to have access to each other, which may not be a good thing if you're children do not tend to get along, or have a wide age gap, having your new born baby woken up constantly by your energetic toddler is not something you need happening on a busy shopping trip.
A tandem pram is ideal if you have got children with a wide age gap, as you can lay one seat flat for your baby at the back of the pram while your toddler is able to have their seat sat up at the front of the pram, so they can see what's happening around them, thus leaving your baby to sleep peacefully without interaction from your other child. The great attraction about the tandem style is that because of their frame they are just as narrow as a single pram, so you don't have the problems of manoeuvrability like the side by side style, a disadvantage of this style though can be the handling, as typically the larger of the two children will have to sit in the front seat, as this is unable to be in the lie flat position and having a heavier weight at the front than the back of the pram can compromise on steering.
