Seats

The majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs, although some can convert to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models let you add a ride-on board to older children who would like to walk, but need a little help.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for a lightweight 3 wheel stroller option perfect for urban streets. It is easy to maneuver and has a large basket that is full of storage. It can hold twins from birth and accept two car seats or a carrycot and seat. The seats have to face towards the front and there is no space to store an item under the seat. You will require an extra sidepack.

Mountain Buggy Duet will be the best choice if you enjoy off-road driving. It's a side-by-side with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy on the market. This makes it easier to squeeze through doors that are narrow and on public transport and allows you to climb up and down kerbs with no trouble.

This is particularly helpful for parents with children in a car seat, as the frame can be fitted with a wedgie for optimum position, and also car seat adapters to many brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your baby/s to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride, as babies can feel every bump on the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain, such as grass or roads that aren't paved. Some models come with front tires that lock to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Some models have air-filled tyres that are great for all-terrain riding, however they are prone to punctures. Make sure you have a spare set of tyres in your trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they could be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to jog.

Our award winning side-by-side duet buggy has a brilliant suspension that will get you over any terrain with ease and comfort, making it the perfect buggy for city strolls. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit and you can bring two children on the same footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 with her three-year-old and newborn, and found it to be exceptionally adept on terrains that are difficult to traverse. "It navigated effortlessly across bumpy sidewalks and grass cobbles, dirt, and tracks. It was also very easy for me to navigate around corners and climb up and down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, coupled with the lockable swivel wheels on the front, make it a very stable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features too, including a spacious basket with zip-top cover large padded seat unit and a 50+ UV hood and game-changing lights that are easy to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded neatly to be stored. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were a pushchair) and those that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-like folding that has the option of a hand-operated break. The more wheels a buggy has, in general, the easier it is to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than the typical size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will have to tip over or flip your child.

The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used with an infant car seat from birth, and later converted to a double buggy when your child is older. It is a lightweight option that is simple to push. It also comes with a bumper bar as well as rain cover.

Another option is the phil&teds sport, which is future proof since it's great as a single buggy right from the start and then adapts to take 2 (or even 3 Wheel infant stroller!) all within its compact footprint. It has an innovative three-wheel design that includes an sling to improve manoeuvrability and stability.

If you want to jog with your kids this is the ideal double buggie for jogging because it comes with a lockable swivel front wheel that will help you remain in control when tackling hilly or off-road tracks.

Storage

Some models like the Roma Atlas offer a generously-sized basket and 2 handy zip pockets on the hood that keep your keys and phone within easy reach.

Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and possibility of transporting twins or a toddler and a child. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack board'). It's the smallest side-byside double on the market. It also has some amazing technology, like LED lights for visibility which are located on both sides of the frame to increase safety in low-light conditions.

For something a little different and unique, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can seat twins from birth (it's open to the world and features a lie flat position). The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the extra seat but it still only weighs in at around 11kg so it's easy to lift and manoeuvre. It can also be used with the form of a car seat or a carrycot, so you get the best of both worlds and it can help you save money in the future since you don't need to purchase a new buggy as soon as you get it.
