There are two types of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted to a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter the way your children sit in it.

This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being a fantastic single from the beginning and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for infants and provides superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to move between kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or even on public transport. It can be used from birth, since it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It is a light buggy that is ideal for urban living and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins or toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging 3 wheel stroller, it's worth investing in a model that is able to handle rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control on difficult terrain, and also to allow you to easily get around corners.

A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children are comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car 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 allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever that can release a catch that folds the frame in half in only a few seconds or so. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative 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 doorways and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling make up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel bassinet stroller-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it extremely secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.
