When it comes to buying a double buggy, there’s plenty to consider. You’ll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes.

There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheel pushchair cheap wheels, depending on the number of children you’ll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are some smart models on the market that manage to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy available. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional ‘Piggy Back Board’.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with unique ‘cinema-seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.
Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being an excellent single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or three wheel pushchairs!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys that have top 3 wheel strollers wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in being lighter in weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used from the beginning of time.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and carried easily. The only drawback is that it’s a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it’s worth investing in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over rough terrain and allow you to easily push through corners.
Double buggys that work for two children will allow 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 items phones, keys, and even keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever that can open a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller 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 take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It’s heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It’s a great choice for twins because the seats can be facing parents and convert into an a tandem pushchair that has a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that’s ideal for daily use. It’s not as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate between kerbs. It’s easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for jogging.
Safety
