Adaptability
There are a lot of things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, comfortable and happy as you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost and size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.
Based on the number of children you need to carry There are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They start as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter how your children sit in it. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.

As your family expands, you can use the same footprint of one buggy. 3 wheel pushchair is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent model. 3 wheel pushchair is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used right from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a fantastic light buggy that is ideal for city life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. 3 wheel buggy ensures it can be carried and lifted easily. The only downside is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings.

It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as big or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to move through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
