This versatile single to double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for sleeping and seating kids from infant to toddler and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back board. It is also one of the slimmest double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.

It's a light and compact stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

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. It is important to consider the cost and size, weight and the durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process easier.

There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have bigger footprints. Despite this there are some smart models on the market that manage to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doors!

Tandem buggies, on contrary, are usually larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by 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 raised or lowered to different positions, so you can alter how your children sit in it. This allows you to select from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents with young children in different stages of development.

Another option is phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day dot and then adapting to take two (or 3 wheeler buggies!) As your family grows, you can still make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four 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 they can be moved more easily and will also be easier to move up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic illustration. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also be used with twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used right from birth.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or 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 a little more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheeler stroller-wheel model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

A quality double buggy allows you to alter the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys, and phones.

Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as big or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways, from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it especially secure. The parent tray is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other all-terrain model with full-featured features on the market. It has the same footprint as a single-buggy, which means it is able to be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added safety. The seats are reversible so that you can have the children facing the front or the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins.
