Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and sights.

There are two types of double buggies that have three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs but tend to have bigger footprints. However there are some smart models available that manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a newborn because of 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 an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can alter the way your children will sit.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain.

Some models can even be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
