The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller, with an easy fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, secure and happy as you discover new routes and sights. You should also think about the overall price tag, size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel stroller travel system wheels: front-facing and side by side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this, there are some super-smart models available that are able to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a newborn because of their clever seat layouts. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents with children in different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another good option. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as a fantastic single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheel pushchair sale wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and resulting in less weight on them. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. It can be used from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more on one that can take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over difficult terrain and to allow you to easily get around corners.
A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phones.
Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame in half in a matter of minutes. Some 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 by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's a bit heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make more up for it.
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 option for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for everyday use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.
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 accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it extremely secure. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down to the perfect resting spot in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety. The seats can be reversed so that you can have the children facing one side or the parents facing one another which is ideal for siblings and twins.
