There are two types of double buggies with 3 wheel tandem stroller wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however, they have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and it even fits into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, are often larger. They typically start as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby 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 a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions.

The phil&teds sports is another good option.

Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheel double pushchair wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or on public transport. It is suitable from birth, since it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's slightly harder to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over difficult terrain and make it easier to navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. You'll have plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for.

Some models can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use.

It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.
