Seats

The majority of triple buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an additional board for older children who are able to walk, but still require a little help.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for a lightweight option perfect for urban streets. It's easy to move, and it has a large basket with lots of storage. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and accepts two car seats, or a carrycot with a seat. The seats must be facing forward and there is no space for an item under the seat. You will require an additional side bag.

If you like to travel off-road then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great option. It's a side-by- side model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy available. This allows it to squeeze through doors that are narrow and on public transport, and also allows you to go up and down kerbs without much trouble. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake for security and safety.

Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double that can be used to accommodate twins or a baby and toddler. The seats come with multi-position recline and UPF 50+ sunshades, while the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your child's eyes.

The phil&teds dots are great single buggys that are easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) in a variety of configurations. This is especially helpful for parents with children in a car seat, since the frame can be equipped with a wedgie for optimum position, and also car seat adapters to many brands.

Suspension

The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine the ease with which your child/children and you can push it. It is crucial to have a smooth ride since babies feel every bump that comes along the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain like grass or unpaved roads. Some models also come with front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.

Some models come with air-filled tyres, which give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres that are designed to take the bumps and are less prone to punctures, but you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to run.

Our award-winning side-byside duet buggy has a brilliant suspension that lets you go over any terrain easily and comfortably making it the ideal buggy for city strolls. You can also upgrade the duet using our dual kit in order to carry two children all within the same footprint!

Folding
