It's a compact and light stroller that folds effortlessly by using just one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and content as you discover new routes and attractions. You should also take into consideration the price and size, weight and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however they tend to have a larger footprint. However there are some smart models on the market that manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They start as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents of children who are at different stages of development.

Another great option is the Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It is ideal for infants and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheel stroller for running wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's perfect for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-3 wheel pushchairs suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to allow you to easily get around corners.

A quality double buggy will allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The best options include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling make up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be modified to meet your needs. It's a great option for twins because the seats can be facing parents and convert into a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for daily use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even take care of 3 wheeler buggies kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and a convenient footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

Its footprint is the same as one buggy, which means it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added safety.
