Based on the number of children you need to carry There are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doorways!

Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back Board".

Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain.
