There are two types of double buggies that have three wheel buggies wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have bigger footprints. Despite this, there are some super-smart models available which manage to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies, on the contrary, are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features unique 'cinema-seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is a good option. This world-first, multi-award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3 wheel all terrain buggy!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It is ideal for infants and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be easier to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or using public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option at any time from birth.

It can be used by twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheel stroller travel system-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and allow you to easily push through corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best options include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phones.
Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever that can open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to move between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
