The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.
It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It's also suitable for different terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the cost as well as the size, weight and the durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will help maximise resale value and a smooth purchase process down the line.
There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this, there are some super-smart models available which manage to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. 3 wheeled pushchair is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a baby because of their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative 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 configurations and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
Another option is phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adapting to take two (or 3!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of one buggy. This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general the double buggy with 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move around kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and has the same footprint as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats allows it to be used from the beginning of time.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for city life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control on difficult terrain and to allow you to easily navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to move between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it especially safe. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can fold down to a compact size in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversed to allow the children facing one side or parents facing each other which is ideal for twins and siblings.
