There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheel stroller with seat wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however, they have larger footprints. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and can fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby baby due to their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".

Manoeuvrability

In general Double buggy 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around 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. It is suitable from birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only downside is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

Double buggys that work for two kids will give you to alter the seating so that both children will be comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half in 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 is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins.

This means it can be used through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth ride and simple handling makes more up for it.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for everyday use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
