Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and places.

Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheel running stroller wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller, but they have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter the way your children are seated.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain.

The only drawback is that it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to give you more control over difficult terrain, and allow you to easily push around corners.

A quality double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phones.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
