The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating kids from newborn to toddler and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also among the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

It's a light and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be completed by one hand. It is also suitable for various terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also consider the total cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process easier.

Based on the number of children you have to carry There are two main types of double buggy 3 wheel stroller travel system wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and can fit into narrow doors!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn due 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 is another super-smart tandem buggy with 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. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another great alternative. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as a brilliant single from day dot and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family grows, you can still 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, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in less weight. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to move between kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. This is the slimmest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or taking public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-3 wheel all terrain pushchair suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.

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. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over rough terrain and enable you to get around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phone.

Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy that means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating options that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be oriented towards parents, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used for running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety
