If you have children who enjoy walking or hiking, an all-terrain model may be more suitable for trails that are rough and rocky. If you're planning to travel, you might prefer a travel stroller that can be folded down to fit into the overhead luggage compartments on flights.

Choose if you'd like a four- or three-wheeled pram. Three-wheeled strollers are more robust on rough surfaces. Four-wheeled models are able to handle more weight and offer better maneuverability. It's a good idea visit shops that let you test drive prams, since it will give you a feel for the way they move, and how easy or difficult it is to push them.

Think about adding accessories to your pram, such as a sun canopy or a footmuff. A sun canopy can protect your child from sun's rays and help prevent overheating. It's also important to check whether the canopy has UPF 50+ sun rating.

A changing bag is another option to think about.

Depending on the brand of pram you choose it could come with a changing mat that can be removed from the bag to make quick and simple diaper changes. A soft fabric and waterproof material are essential features to look for in the changing pad.

These are also known as tandem strollers and allow your children to sit together and look at each one another. They're also usually wider than single-to-double strollers but are still easy to maneuver, even when going up and down kerbs.

They may have an attachment in front for a third child that's often called a joey seat and can be an excellent method of keeping kids close while allowing them to have a view of the world around them. If you're thinking of this option, make sure to verify if the model you're interested in is equipped with this feature. There are many options there, such as the Valco Baby Trend Duo twin foldable stroller or Zoe Twin Trio stroller.

Twin prams are a very popular option because they can be used from birth and accommodate infants in carrycots, or toddlers in their seats. Some are designed to be double buggies while others, like the Cybex Venus Twin can convert into a single stroller, with a spacious undercarriage basket - ideal for those who have children who are old enough to walk.

You could also opt for a side-by-side stroller like the Phil & Teds Vist v2 Double. It's sturdy and has lots of storage, with the option of a second seat so you can add an additional child. The hood was too short for my friend's tall child, but it is a great option when you have children who are older.

Anything that can carry two babies is likely to be a bit heavy, particularly if you're using it with a newborn in a carrycot and a toddler in a seat. Check the weight of the entire pushchair, including any seats or carrycots. This could be a major issue for certain families. Some models have a maximum frame weight and an upper limit on the weight of the seats/carrycots. This will aid you in deciding what's the most suitable for your family. The Joolz Geo 3 Twin, for example, has a maximum of 16kg for each seat.

Twin prams

Twin prams pushchairs are essential for parents with two young children of the same age. There are a variety of double travel systems on the market. They differ in design and price, but all come with safety features.

Inline twin prams usually have one seat above the other, with a canopy between. These kinds of prams are very popular because they offer lots of shade and protection from the elements. Some feature hoods with peek-a-boo windows that allow parents to monitor their children. However, this type of twin pram is difficult to maneuver through kerbs and is often quite bulky making it hard to fit into small car boots.

Side-by-side twin prams are generally larger overall and provide more seating flexibility. They can be used in combination with twin infant car seats to create an entire travel system. However, they have a downside in that children are not separated. This can lead to snack stealing and toy fighting between toddlers.

Tandem prams begin as single buggies. They can later be equipped with a second seat either in the front, back or under. Most tandems are designed with an upper bassinet and a toddler in second position. This is an excellent and economical option for parents with twins or children who are different ages.

Modern twin prams are smaller and easy to maneuver. This can limit the space available for nappy bag storage and shopping. It is also difficult to get twin prams in and out the boot of a car, especially in the case of an SUV with a lip that you have to lift up to allow the pram to go in.
