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

It's a lightweight and compact stroller with an easy fold that can be completed by one hand. It is also suitable for various environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, secure and content while you discover new routes and sights. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the purchase process simpler.

There are two kinds of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby, or a baby due to their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted 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 change how your children are seated. This lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with children who are at different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is another good option. This multi-award winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an incredible single and can be modified to take two (or three wheeler pushchair!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheel stroller cheap wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to move between kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest 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 doors or even on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in 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. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will give you to adjust the seats so that both children can be comfortable. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries, keys, and phone.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever 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 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 options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's a great option for twins, as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheeler buggy-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it a particularly safe. In addition, its tray is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopy has windows that peek out to improve visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. 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 take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts love that it can be folded down to a compact size within a matter of seconds. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversed so that you can put the children facing the front or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings.
