Claire Our test participant, Claire, was impressed with the packaging. It was easy to open and clean. She found it to be among the easiest and fastest pieces of baby equipment to assemble. She took it out for a spin around some rough terrain and was thrilled with its performance.
Seats
The majority of 3 wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take a second seat or carrycot using adapters (these are typically more common in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models will allow you to add a ride-on board to older children who would like to walk but require some help.
Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for city streets. It's easy to move and comes with an enormous basket that has plenty of storage. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and will accept two car seats, or a carrycot with a seat. The seats are required to face forwards and there's not enough space for a shopping bag underneath which is why you'll need a sidepack to do that.
Mountain Buggy Duet will be an ideal choice if you enjoy off-road driving. It's a side by side model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy that is available. It's much easier to get through narrow doors as well as on public transport. It is also able to climb up and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake on the adjustable handlebar to provide additional security and safety.
Another option that is lightweight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double it can be used to accommodate twins or a baby and toddler. The seats feature multi-position reclining and UPF 50+ sunshades, and the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into triple by adding UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack’ board for older children.
The iCandy Orange is one of the most well-known double buggies available because of its exceptional comfort. It's an all-terrain model with a soft suspension that makes light work of bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate a massive 30 seating configurations, and has a built-in ride-on for older kids who prefer walking plus a 'cinema seating' mode that raises the back of the seat to allow for better visibility.
The phil&teds dot is a fantastic single buggy that is available from day one that can then easily adapt to take 2 (or 3!) in a variety of configurations. This is particularly useful if you have a baby in your car. The frame can be fitted to a wedgie that allows for the best lie-flat position. Or car seat adapters that can be used with various brands.
Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a 3-wheel double buggy is crucial to how it will be easy for you and your child to push. A smooth ride is vital because babies feel every bump on the road, especially if it's in rough terrain such as grass or dirt roads. Some models also have front wheels that lock to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres that are great for all-terrain rides, but they are susceptible to punctures. Be sure to keep an extra set of tyres in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are designed to withstand bumps and are less prone to punctures, but you might find them a little stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you choose to jog.

MFM reviewer Kath took the Urban Glide 2 through its tests with her newborn and 3 year old son, and found it was able to handle difficult terrain: "it navigated effortlessly over pavements that were bumpy and grassy, cobbles and dirt tracks with ease and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and climb up and down kerbs. It's even very pleasant to jog on, thanks to the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels providing a safe jogging experience." The Urban Glide 2 has a variety of features, such as a large seat unit with a padded cover as well as a hood that has 50+ UV protection, and easy-to-use and rechargeable visibility lights.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy can be folded up neatly for storage. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were the form of a pushchair) and also are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding with the option of a hand-operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is especially applicable when the wheels are bigger than average - this will provide you with more stability and decrease the likelihood that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.
A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth using an infant car seat, and it can be converted into a side-byside double buggy when your child is old enough to allow them to be seated next to each one. It's a light-feeling option that makes it simple to push and is packed full of extra features including a bumper bar and raincover.
Another option is the phil&teds sport which is future-proof since it's great as a single buggy from day one and can be adapted to take 2 (or even three!) all within its compact footprint. It features a clever 3-wheel design and the sling seat to provide better maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.
