Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the price, size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase later on.
There are two types of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, are often larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted 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 raised or lowered to different positions so that you can change how your children will sit. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another good option. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they can be pushed more easily and will also be easier to move between kerbs.
An excellent example 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 doorways or taking public transportation. It can be used from the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing ideally to give you better control over difficult terrain, and also to allow you to easily navigate around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will give you to alter the seating so that both children can be comfortable. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models but its smooth ride and simple handling makes more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for running.

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or a twin kit. lightweight 3 wheel stroller can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120).
