It is also one of the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with one hand. It's also suitable for different environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure your children are safe and safe as you travel new sights and routes. You should also take into consideration the cost, size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.
There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models available that manage to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted to 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 lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This lets you choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents with children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a great alternative. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your wallet by being a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheel baby stroller!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheeled pushchairs wheels are more easy to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or using public transportation. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's perfect for city life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over rough terrain and enable you to push through corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so 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 shopping, car keys and phones.
Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doors and public transport. It's a bit heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling make up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel baby strollers (you could look here)-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways, from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it a particularly secure. In addition, its tray is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies feature windows that peek out to improve visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension is able to tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can fold down to a compact size in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats are reversible so that you can put children facing forward or the parents facing one another ideal for twins and siblings.
