3 Wheel Double Buggy

A great choice for parents who wish to take their kids off-road the Fox 5 is a true all-terrain baby stroller. It is equipped with a powerful suspension and large wheels that are puncture-proof.

Our tester Claire was impressed by the clean, easy-to-open packaging and thought it was one of the quickest and easiest pieces of baby gear to put together. She took it for a spin around some tough terrain and was thrilled with its performance.

Seats

Most 3 wheeler pushchair wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models allow you to add a ride-on board for older children who would like to walk but still need a little help.

If you're looking for a lightweight option that is ideal for city streets, take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo. It's a breeze to move and comes with a large basket with plenty of storage space. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and can accommodate two car seats or a carrycot that has a seat. However, the seats have to be oriented forward and there's no space to store a bag of groceries underneath, so you'll need a sidepack to do this.

If you're looking to go off-road and off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great choice. It's a side-by- side with the most compact footprint of any double buggy available. It's easier to maneuver through narrow doors on public transport, and to climb up and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake on the adjustable handlebar for extra security and safety.

The UPPAbaby vista 2 double is another lightweight option that can be used by twins or a baby and toddler. The seats feature multi-position reclining and UPF 50+ sunshades while the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun from your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can even be transformed into a triple using the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board designed for mobile older children.

The iCandy Orange is one of the most sought-after double buggies available because of its exceptional comfort. It's an all terrain pushchair, with soft suspension to make smooth work of bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate a massive 30 seating configurations, and includes an integrated ride-on board that can be used for older kids who prefer walking and a 'cinema seating' mode that raises the back of the seat to improve visibility.

Alternatively, the phil&teds dot is a great single buggy from day 1 which is then able to take 2 (or 3!) in various configurations. This is especially useful when you have a child in your car. The frame can be adapted to a wedgie that allows for optimal lie-flat positioning. Or car seat adapters that can be used with a wide range of brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is essential to how it will be easy for you and your baby/s to push. A smooth ride is vital since babies can feel every bump in the road, especially if it's in rough terrain such as grass or paths that aren't paved. Some models come with front tires that lock to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, however they are prone to punctures. Be sure to keep an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres that are specifically designed to handle bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, but you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back if you decide to run.

The side-by-side is the most suitable buggy for city walks. It features a fantastic suspension system that lets you effortlessly and comfortably traverse any terrain. You can also upgrade the duet with our dual kit, allowing you to accommodate two children - all within the same compact footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath put the Urban Glide 2 through its trials with her infant and three years old children, and discovered that 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 maneuver around corners and get up and down kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features too as a large basket with zip-top cover large cushioned seat, 50+ UV hood, and game-changing visibility lights that are easy to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A 3 wheeled buggies-wheel double buggy folds very easily to be stored. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-like folding that has an operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more comfortable it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is particularly true if your wheels are bigger than the typical size. You will have more stability, and it's less likely that you have to tip over or flip your child.

A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat. It then converts to a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough to allow them to sit beside each one. It's a light-feeling option which makes it easy to push and is packed with extra features, including bumper bars and a raincover.

Another option is the phil&teds sport that is a future-proof model since it's great as a single buggy from day dot and then adjusts to take two (or even 3 wheel umbrella stroller!) All of this is contained in its small footprint. It has an innovative 3 wheel double stroller-wheel design that includes the sling seat to provide better maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.

Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and the ability to transport twins or a toddler and a child. (This is made possible by their 'PiggyBack' system). It's the slimmest side-by-side double in the market and comes with some impressive technology that includes game-changing LED visibility lights that change on each side of the buggy frame to ensure safety in low light conditions.
