This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.

This is an ultra-compact and lightweight 3 wheel pushchair stroller that folds effortlessly with just one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you explore new routes and sights. You'll also want to consider the overall cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.

There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy available and it even fits into narrow doors!

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are designed as a single stroller but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby child with a newborn because of their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of 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 facing 3 wheel stroller seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter the way your children sit in it. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is also a excellent alternative. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows - all terrain 3 wheel stroller within the same footprint of a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be easier to maneuver between kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or taking public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only downside is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to give you more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries phones, keys, and even keys.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy that means it can fit through doors and public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be facing parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel pushchair three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even accommodate 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, meaning it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
