There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and happy as you explore new routes and attractions.

Depending on the number of children you have to carry There are two main kinds of double buggy with lightest 3 wheel stroller wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however, they have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They typically start as a single 3 wheeled pushchair but can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can change how your children are seated. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a good option. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a fantastic single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3 wheel double pushchair!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys that have 3 wheeled strollers wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doors or even on public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats makes it a great option at any time from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for city life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to manage than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to provide more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.

Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a couple of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing and convert into a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not as large or as expensive as other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 wheel stroller set kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120).
