Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, comfortable and happy as you explore new routes and attractions. Also, consider the overall cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.
Based on the number of children you need to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have a larger footprint. However there are a few super-smart models on the market that manage to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot with 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 clever seating configurations. 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 is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter how your children sit in it.

This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent example. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or using public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used right from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain.

3 wheeler pushchair 's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs then you should spend more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to enable you to push through corners.
A good double buggy allows you to alter the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot 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 bit heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and easy handling makes more up for it.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
