Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the price, size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make purchasing easier.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to accommodate a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can alter how your children sit in it. This allows you to choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with young children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your wallet by being a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great illustration. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal 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 carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a great lightweight buggy that is ideal for city life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to handle than some other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.
Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
3 wheeled pushchair , a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or as expensive as other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's 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 carriage for jogging.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120).
