Adaptability
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and places. You should also take into consideration the cost as well as the size, weight and durability. A trusted brand (within budget) will boost resales and make purchasing easier.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel twin stroller wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models on the market which manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 innovative tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents with young children at different stages of development.
Another great option is the Phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheeler stroller wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and 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.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is ideal for urban life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that can take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted optimally to give you better control on difficult terrain and enable you to navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides the best flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doors and 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 model that has 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be facing parents and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheeled buggies wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for jogging.
Safety
