This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller with an easy fold that can be accomplished one-handed. It is also suitable for a variety of environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new sights and routes. You should also consider the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter how your children sit in it. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the future. It is initially a brilliant single and can be upgraded to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in a lighter weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic illustration. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or taking public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.
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 take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A good double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The best 3 wheel travel system models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a second or two. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
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 can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models but its small 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 with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 children in a variety of ways, from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it extremely secure. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side-byside double buggy is the tiniest all-terrain model with full-featured features on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension can take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can be folded into a compact form within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar to provide safety. The seats are reversible so that you can have the children facing one side or parents facing each other - perfect for siblings and twins.
