Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, comfortable and content as you explore new routes and places. You'll also want to think about the overall price tag, size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.

There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available that manage to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to take the seat of a second child or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions.

It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
