There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheel stroller for running wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it even fits into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters.

It begins as a brilliant single and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this.

Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheel travel system wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels.

The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to manage than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to give you more control over tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
