This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 options for sleeping and seating children from newborn to toddler, and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.
This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the purchase process easier.
There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based 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 models, however, they have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is another great option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your wallet by being an excellent single from day one and then adapting to take two (or 3 wheeler strollers!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. They are easier to push and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or even on public transport. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and to enable you to get around corners.
Double buggys that work for two kids will give you to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping, keys, and phone.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. 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-by-side which offers an incredible range of options for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling make up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight best 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in many ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 wheel pushchairs if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability and an easy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.

The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
