Adaptability
There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, secure and content while you discover new routes and places. Also, consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process easier.
There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheel pushchairs wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however, they have a larger footprint. However, there are some super-smart models on the market that are able to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to take a second seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby baby due to their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat' design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents with young children at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This world-first, multi-award winner buggy will protect your wallet by being a fantastic single from day dot and then adapting to take two (or three wheeler pushchair!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for infants and provides the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheel travel system wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in a lighter weight. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and has the same footprint as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or in public transport. It is suitable from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a light buggy that is ideal for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and carried easily. It's only downside is it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you plan to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items keys, phone, and keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that triggers a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels, is suitable for everyday 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 between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used to running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two kids in multiple ways from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate 3 wheel bassinet stroller if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability and convenient footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double pushchair 3 wheeler buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.

It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added security. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
