This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping kids from newborn to toddler and the third option with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a light and compact stroller with an easy to use fold that can be completed with one hand. It is also suitable for different environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You'll also want to think about the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget obviously) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.

Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy with 3 wheeled pushchair wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing ones, but tend to have larger footprints. Despite this there are some smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of 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 raised or lowered to different positions, so you can change how your children sit in it. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with children in different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is another good alternative. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as an excellent single from day dot and then adapting to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can use the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheel buggies wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as a single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

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

Comfort

If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control over difficult terrain and allow you to easily get around corners.

A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best 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.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in a matter of minutes. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same 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 and easy handling make more up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheeled pushchairs-wheel option is ideal for everyday use. It's not as big or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in many ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with three if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it especially safe.
