Side by side double prams provide two seats next to each other so that your children can see each other and have fun while on a walk. However, they tend to be wider than single prams and therefore may not fit through certain doors or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy streets and in shopping centres. They are also heavier when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, but aren't as narrow. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is often farther away from the handle. Also, they may require more parts when you are ready to use them. They can also be more expensive than a side by side double pram.
