Seats

Most 3 wheeled pushchair wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs, but some can convert to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). You'll also find that some models let you add a ride-on board to older children who wish to walk but require some assistance.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight option that is perfect for urban streets. It is easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket with lots of storage. It can accommodate twins starting at birth and will accept two car seats, or a carrycot with a seat. The seats must face toward the forward direction and there isn't room to store bags of groceries under the seat. You will require an extra sidepack.

If you're looking to travel off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great choice. It is a side by side with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It's easier to maneuver through narrow doors as well as on public transport. It is also able to climb up and over kerbs. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake for security and safety.

Another HOMCOM Lightweight Foldable Baby Stroller Red - 0-3 years choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

The Vista 2 can even be transformed into a triple using the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board for mobile older children.

This is especially useful for parents who have children in your car. The frame can be affixed to a wedgie that allows for optimal lie-flat positioning.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3-wheel double buggy is crucial to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride, since babies feel every bump that comes along the road. This is especially relevant if you drive on rough terrain such as grass or roads that are not paved. Some models come with front tires that lock to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Some models have tyres with air filled that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure you keep an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Other models use gel or foam tyres, designed to withstand bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to jog.

Our award-winning side-by-side duet buggy comes with a superb suspension that lets you go over any terrain easily and comfortably, making it the perfect buggy for city walks. You can even upgrade the duet by adding our dual kit in order to take 2 children - all within the same footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath took the Urban Glide 2 through its tests with her newborn and 3 years old, and found that it was able to handle difficult terrains: "it navigated effortlessly over pavements that were bumpy and grassy cobbles, dirt tracks and cobbles easily and was able to maneuver around corners and climb up and down kerbs. It's also very enjoyable to jog, with the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheel providing a safe running experience." The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as well as a large basket with a zip-top cover, large cushioned seat and a 50+ UV hood and game-changing visibility lights that are simple to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A 3 wheel double buggy can fold up very neatly for storage. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding with an operated break. The more wheels a buggy is equipped with, in general, the easier it is to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are bigger than the average size. You will have more stability and it will be less likely that you need to tip over or flip your child.

The most popular model is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth with an infant car seat and it can be converted into a side-byside double buggy once your child is old enough for them to be seated next to each one. It's a comfortable and light-feeling model that makes it simple to push and is packed full of extra features including a bumper bar and raincover.

Another option is the phil&teds sport, which is future proof since it's great as a single buggy from day one and then adjusts to accommodate 2 (or even three!) in its small footprint. It is a clever design of three wheels with a sling for better manoeuvrability and stability.
