Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. It is important to consider the price and size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make the purchase process easier.
There are two kinds of double buggies with three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby baby because of their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can alter how your children will sit. 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 the phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an incredible single and can be upgraded to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can use the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle 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 that they will be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to move between kerbs.
One of the best 3 wheel stroller travel system examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or even on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or two carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic light buggy that is ideal for urban living and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight 3 wheel buggy frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. It's only downside is it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control over difficult terrain and to enable you to navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children feel comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that releases an opening and folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling make more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair 3 wheels that has a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for use in everyday life. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in many ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). It is especially safe due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and a convenient footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double vehicle on the market.

Its suspension can take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts love the fact that it can fold into a compact form within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats can be reversed to allow the children facing the front or parents facing each other ideal for twins and siblings.
