There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new sights and routes. Also, think about the total cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.

Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models on the market which manage to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They start as a single stroller, but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and newborn due to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions, so you can change how your children sit in it. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another great option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheeled buggies wheels are easier for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in being lighter in weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move around kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. It is suitable from birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain, and allow you to easily push around corners.

A good double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.

A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that opens an opening and folds the frame into half in a matter of minutes. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child car for jogging.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in many ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 wheel stroller brands if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it extremely safe.
