Some double prams have extra-large, air-filled tyres that are specifically designed to increase maneuverability and reduce the stress on the hips and spine of your child. These tyres are also good on uneven terrain, making the tandem pram an excellent option for long walks with your children.

In addition to the tyres, the best twin pram should have a handlebar that can be adjusted to accommodate all different sizes. This feature is extremely useful especially for older children who are accustomed to strollers that don't adjust as they get older.
