Adaptability
When you’re looking to purchase a double buggy, there’s a lot to consider. You’ll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also consider the price as well as the size, weight and the durability. A trusted brand (within budget) will boost resales and make the buying process easier.
Based on the number of children you have to carry There are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheel baby stroller wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They typically start as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional ‘Piggy Back Board’.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with unique ‘cinema-seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is a great alternative. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being a fantastic single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheel buggies!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It’s perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general the double buggy with 3 wheeled pushchairs wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It’s a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for city life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it’s a bit harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.
Comfort
If you plan to use your buggy for long jogs or walks then it’s worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheel model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
A good double buggy allows you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They’ll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that opens an opening and folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It’s an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a best lightweight 3 wheel stroller three-wheel model is ideal for daily use.

It’s easy to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child car for running.
