The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single pushchair.

It's a light and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be accomplished with one hand. It's also suitable for various environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the cost, size, weight, and the durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the buying process easier.

There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. However there are some smart models available that are able to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They typically start as a single pushchair and can be rearranged 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. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear facing 3 wheel stroller seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can change how your children will sit. This allows you to choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.

Another great 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 a brilliant single and can be upgraded to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to make it easier to navigate around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be comfortable. The most comfortable double pushchair 3 wheeler buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your items keys, phone, and keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever that can release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes more up for it.

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

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver up and down 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 a variety of ways from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a convenient foot brakes make it extremely secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.
