Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheeled pushchairs wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby baby due to their innovative seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding 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 seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can change how your children sit in it.

It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in a lighter weight. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be much easier to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has the same footprint as one single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or even on public transport.

Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or jogs then you should spend more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain.

Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
