There are two types of double buggy with three wheel pushchairs wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have larger footprints. However, there are some super-smart models available that are able to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding 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 change how your children are seated.

Another great option is the Phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from the beginning and then adapting to take two (or 3 wheeled pushchairs!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this.

This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or taking public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

Some models fold with the seats removed, making 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. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two kids in multiple ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability and handy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopy has windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.
