The versatile single-to-double buggy has 17 different options for sleeping and seating children from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller with an easy to use fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. Also, consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the buying process simpler.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs but tend to have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat' design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general the double buggy with 3 wheel bassinet stroller wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in being lighter in weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to maneuver up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats makes it a great option from the beginning of time.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's perfect for city life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used for twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame ensures it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks, then you should spend more on one that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.
A good double buggy allows you to alter the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your groceries, keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame into half in a matter of seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great option for twins as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for daily use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin 3 wheel stroller kit. They can even handle 3 wheeler buggy kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability and an easy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.
