Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. Also, think about the overall cost, size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
There are 3 wheeler pushchair of double buggies with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available on the market. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, are often larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. 3 wheeler pushchair allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents with young children at different developmental stages.
Another option is Phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being an excellent single from day one and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or in public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models 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 handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels that can take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control on difficult terrain and to enable you to push through corners.
A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doors and public transport. It's a bit heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and the convenient footbrake. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security.
