This versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single pushchair.

Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new sights and routes. You should also consider the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process easier.
There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however, they have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and newborn due to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat design. three wheel pushchair allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. 3 wheeler pushchair lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents with young children at different developmental stages.
Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day one and then adapting to take two (or 3!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as one buggy. This is possible thanks to the genius sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in a lighter weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or even on 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 light buggy that is ideal for city life and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit 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. Choose a 3-wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control on difficult terrain, and also to enable you to push through corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best options include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the carrycot or second seat, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins because the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.
