Depending on the number of children you need to carry There are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheeled pushchairs wheels: front-facing and side-byside. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available.
