This multi-functional single to double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler, and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller with an easy to use fold that can be completed with one hand. It's also suitable for a variety of environments 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 comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the cost and size, weight and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggies that have three wheel pushchairs wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however, they have a larger footprint. However there are some smart models on the market that manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and baby or a child with 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 smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This lets you choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is another great alternative. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as an excellent single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheel travel system!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel parent facing pushchair wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. They are easier to push and are also easier to move up and down kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or taking public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be carried and lifted easily. The only issue is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best models offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phone.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in a matter of seconds. Some 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 which offers an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front 3 wheel stroller set and narrow turning radius make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.
