There are two kinds of double buggy with three wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models available that are able to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy on the market.

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn due to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with cheap 3 wheel buggy wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for urban life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain.

The only downside is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheeler pushchair off road-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain and to make it easier to get around corners.

A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases an opening and folds the frame into half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
