Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content while you explore new routes and places.

Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it even fits into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn because of their clever seat layouts. 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 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 change how your children sit in it.

Manoeuvrability

In general the double buggy with 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels.

This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport.

It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain and to make it easier to get around corners.

Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings.
