Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that feature two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models allow you to decide if your children will look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.
