This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost as well as the size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the buying process simpler.

Depending on the number of children you need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market that are able to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies, on contrary, are usually larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features unique 'cinema-seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents with young children at very different stages in 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 a brilliant single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as one buggy. This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheel all terrain buggy wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to move up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. 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 use your buggy on long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in a model that can handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted ideally to give you better control over rough terrain and allow you to easily navigate around corners.

Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best options offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of space to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

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

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in many ways, from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and even handle lightest 3 wheel stroller kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). It is extremely secure due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies, and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can fold into a compact form within a matter of seconds. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats are reversible which means you can decide to have your children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
