The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the tiniest double strollers that fits through doors like a single pushchair.

It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and attractions. It is important to consider the price as well as the size, weight and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.

There are two types of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, however they tend to have larger footprints. Despite this there are some smart models available which manage to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy in the world and it even fits into narrow doors!

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate 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 transformed into a triple by the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with young children in different stages of development.

Another option is phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is a world first that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with cheap 3 wheel buggy wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to maneuver between kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used at any time from birth.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for urban life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheel tandem stroller-wheel model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to give you more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The best models offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens a catch and folds the frame into half in just a few minutes. Some models can even fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel 3 wheel baby stroller with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it extremely secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is larger than on most double buggies, and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the slimmest fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy, so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can be folded into a compact form in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversible to allow children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings.
