This multi-functional single to double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping children, from newborn to toddler and an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the most slim double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

It's a lightweight and compact stroller that has an easy fold that can be done with one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and sights. Also, think about the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth purchase later on.

There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing ones, but tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to take a second seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter the way your children are seated. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.

Another option is phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in being lighter in weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to maneuver between kerbs.

One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. It is suitable from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a light buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Choose a model with 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 mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.

A quality double buggy will allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys, and phone.

A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling make up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel compact stroller-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for running.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even handle 3 wheel stroller and car seat kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it especially safe. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it can be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can fold down into a compact position within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats can be reversed to allow children facing forward or parents facing each other which is ideal for siblings and twins.
