Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you explore new routes and sights. It is important to consider the price and size, weight and the durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.
Based on the number of children you need to carry, there are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are some smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doors.
3 wheeler pushchairs , on the other hand, are often larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a baby because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in being lighter in weight. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback 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 walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with large back wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over difficult terrain, and allow you to easily push around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's a bit heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet any need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is larger than on most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.
