Like the name suggests, tandem prams are two seats or bassinets facing each other. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side by side. They are also easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport.

Many single prams permit toddler stroller boards (depending on which type of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back, so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

This will eliminate the hassle and cost of buying a separate double stroller.
