Adaptability
There are many things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new sights and routes. You'll also want to think about the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process easier.
Based on the number of children you need to carry There are two primary kinds of double buggy with
3 wheel stroller lightweight wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are a few super-smart models on the market that manage to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a baby due to their clever seat layouts. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions so that you can alter the way your children will sit. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
Another great option is the Phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys that have 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or taking public transport. It can be used as early as birth, as it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more on one that can take on rough terrain. Look for a
3 wheel double pushchair-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and to make it easier to navigate around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame into half in just a few seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with great 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 can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it especially secure. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional security.
