When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. Also, consider the total cost, size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase later on.
There are two types of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, are often larger. They are designed as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features unique 'cinema-seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is perfect for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another excellent option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a light buggy that's ideal for city life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.
A good double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to move through kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate three 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 safe. Plus, its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can fold into a compact form in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra security. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
