This versatile single to double buggy comes with 17 different options for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It is also one of the most slim double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller that has an easy fold that can be completed one-handed. It is also suitable for a variety of 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 think about. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you discover new routes and attractions. You'll also want to consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will maximize the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggies that have three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, however, they have bigger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models available that manage to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies, on the contrary, are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised 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 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 one and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in a lighter weight. They are easier to push and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the thinnest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or using public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only drawback is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, then you should spend more on one that can handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to allow you to easily push through corners.

Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. 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 items, keys, and phone.

Another thing to look out for is a simple 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 release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides the best 3 wheel stroller travel system flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating options that can be altered to meet all needs. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel compact stroller-wheel model that is suitable for daily use. It's not as big or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to move between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child car for jogging.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the handy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Plus, its parent tray is larger than on most double buggies, and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is the slimmest all-terrain model with full-featured features that is available. Its footprint is the same as one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension is able to tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it folds down into a compact position within a matter of seconds. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added security. The seats can be reversible to allow children facing forward or the parents facing one another which is ideal for twins and siblings.
