It's a compact and light stroller with an easy fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and also has an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying 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 should also consider the price, size, weight, and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.
There are two kinds of double buggy with
3 wheel buggy wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, but tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. This is the smallest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can alter how your children will sit. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents of children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is another great alternative. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in a lighter weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or on public transportation. It can be used from birth, as it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. It's only downside is it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control over difficult terrain, and also to enable you to get around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you the flexibility to adjust the seats so that both children can be at ease. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers an opening and folds the frame in half within a matter of a few minutes. 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 the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight
3 wheeled strollers-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it extremely secure. Plus, its parent tray is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopies have windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.
This multi-award winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy available on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, so it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension is able to handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can be folded down into a compact position in a matter of minutes. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
