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.

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’.

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 means that they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.

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 smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for.

Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
