Depending on the number of children you need to carry There are two kinds of double buggy with
3 wheel stroller travel system wheel travel stroller (

Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to take a second seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby child with a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. 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 smart tandem buggy with 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 choose from a range of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
Another option is phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with
best 3 wheel pushchair wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to provide more control on tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed which makes 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 twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's a little heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as big or more expensive than other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
