Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also take into consideration the price, size, weight, and the durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process simpler.
There are two types of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, however, they have larger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They typically start as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents with children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a good alternative. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will safeguard your money in the near future. three wheel pushchair is initially an amazing single, but can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! This is possible thanks to the genius sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a light buggy that is ideal for city life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. It's only downside is it's a bit harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more on one that can handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to give you more control over tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame into half in just 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-byside that provides the best flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doorways and on public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be facing parents 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 but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit.
