Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content as you discover new routes and places. You'll also want to think about the overall cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have a larger footprint. However there are some smart models on the market which manage to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. 3 wheel buggy begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. three wheel pushchair can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions, so you can alter how your children are seated. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents of children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is another great alternative. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As three wheel pushchair grows, you can still make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or in public transport. It can be used from birth, since it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to give you more control over tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children are comfortable. The best options offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. There's plenty of space to store your shopping, keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a second or two. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers an incredible range of options for siblings or twins.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
