Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and happy as you discover new routes and attractions. You should also take into consideration the price and size, weight and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.

Depending on the number of children you need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy 3 wheel tandem stroller wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however, they have bigger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn due to their clever seat layouts. 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 stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents of children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is also a good option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheel stroller cheap!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides 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 handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or using public transportation. It can be used from the moment of birth, since it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that is ideal for urban life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. The only issue is that 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 walks or jogs it's worth spending more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that work for two kids will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats to ensure that both children be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a second or two. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers an incredible range of options for twins or siblings.

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

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit.
