Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You'll also want to think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will maximize resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn because of their clever seat layouts. 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 tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with young children in different stages of development.
Another option is Phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in less weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. 3 wheeled pushchair makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. It is suitable from the moment of birth, since it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due 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 more difficult to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to give you more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
Double buggys that work for two children will give you to adjust the seats so that both children can be at ease. The most effective double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame in just a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
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 can be expanded in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating options that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as large or as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child car for jogging.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and the convenient footbrake. The parent tray is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.
