Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, secure and content while you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the cost, size, weight, and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make purchasing simpler.
There are three wheel pushchair of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however they tend to have larger footprints. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market that manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy in the world and it even fits into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of a "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 adjusted to different positions so that you can change how your children are seated. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as an excellent single from day dot and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the genius sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are more easy to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. It can be used from birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only issue is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
three wheel pushchair
If you intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted ideally to give you better control over rough terrain and to allow you to easily push through corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be comfortable. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for children older than. There's plenty of room to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts like models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating options to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it a particularly secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.
