Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and places. You should also consider the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make purchasing easier.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. 3 wheel pushchair can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can change how your children sit in it. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents of children in different stages of development.
Another option is the phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being a fantastic single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you can use the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide, resulting in a lighter weight. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys, and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in a matter of minutes. Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for everyday use. It's not as big or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
