Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. It is important to consider the cost as well as the size, weight and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process easier.
Based on the number of children you have to carry There are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, however, they have larger footprints. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They typically start as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child with a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. 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 an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can change how your children sit in it. This allows you to choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents of children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a good option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the future. It begins as a brilliant single and can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and result in less weight being placed on them. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or taking public transportation. It can be used as early as birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only issue is that it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or jogs it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
Double buggys that work for two children will give you to adjust the seats so that both children can be comfortable. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.
Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens an opening and folds the frame in half in a matter of seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy that means it can fit through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be parent-facing and convert into an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel pushchair 3-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it especially secure. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.
