There are two kinds of double buggies with three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however, they have bigger footprints. However, there are some super-smart models available that are able to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheel pushchair off road wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels.

The only drawback is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.

Comfort

If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks.

Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
