A well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however, they have bigger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models available that manage to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a newborn because of their innovative seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions so you can alter the way your children are seated.

Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will help protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as a brilliant single and can be modified to take two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to move up and down kerbs.

The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, it's worth spending more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain and enable you to push through corners.

Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats to remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame within a matter of a few minutes. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
