This multi-functional single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also among the most slim double strollers and fits through doors like a single pushchair.

This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily by using just one hand. It's also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you discover new routes and attractions. You should also think about the overall price tag, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a newborn because of their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the 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 options and is ideal for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.

Another option is Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheeler stroller!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize 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 the ability to pop the kerb.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in a lighter weight. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to maneuver between kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or on public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option from the beginning of time.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only downside is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three wheeler pushchair-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain, and also to enable you to push through corners.

A good double buggy will allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best options include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame in just a few seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the 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 and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 wheel travel stroller if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it especially secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, meaning it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds into a compact form within a matter of seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for added security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
