Claire who was our test subject was impressed with the packaging. It was simple to open and clean. She found it to be among the easiest and fastest pieces of baby equipment to assemble. She took it to explore some rough terrain and was extremely pleased with its performance.
Seats
The majority of 3 wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs, although some models can be converted to accommodate the seat of a second person or carrycot with adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an extra board for older children who are ready to walk but require assistance.
Check out the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for urban streets. It's a breeze to move and has a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins from birth and accommodate two car seats as well as a carrycot and seat. The seats must face forward and there is no space for bags of groceries under the seat. You will require an extra sidepack.
If three wheel pushchair looking to go off-road then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent choice. It's a side by tandem with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It's much easier to get through narrow doors, on public transport and to climb up and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake that is attached to the handlebar that can be adjusted for more security and safety.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that is suitable for twins or a toddler and baby. The seats come with multi-position recline and UPF 50+ sunshades, and the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun from your child's eyes.

Alternatively, the phil&teds dot is a fantastic single buggy that is available from day one which is then able to take 2 (or 3!) different configurations. This is especially useful when you have a child in a car seat, as the frame can be fitted with a wedgie that allows for optimal position, and also car seat adapters to many brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children can push it. A smooth ride is crucial since babies can feel every bump on the road, particularly if it's in rough terrain such as grass or dirt roads. Some models also come with locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.
Some models use air-filled tyres which will provide a fantastic all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures, so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to jog.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 with her toddler and newborn and found it exceptionally adept on terrains that are difficult to traverse. "It glided effortlessly over sidewalks and grass cobbles, dirt tracks. It was also very easy for me to maneuver around corners and get up or down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, combined with the lockable swivel wheel on the front, make it an extremely safe jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as well with a large basket with a zip-top cover, large padded seat unit with 50+ UV hood, and game-changing lights that are easy to use and rechargeable.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy folds quite easily to be stored. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as when they were in a pushchair) as well as those that pop open to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with a hand-operated brake. The more wheels a buggy is equipped with, in general the easier it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. 3 wheeler pushchair is particularly applicable when the wheels are bigger than average - this will provide you with more stability and make it less likely that your child will fall over or tip over.
A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat and transforms into a side-by-side double buggy once your child is old enough for them to sit next to each other. It is a lightweight option that is simple to push. It also comes with a bumper bar and raincover.
The phil&teds sports is an alternative option. It is future-proof as it's an excellent buggy and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) All of this fits into its compact footprint. It features a clever 3-wheel design and an sling seat that provides greater maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.
This is one of the best double buggies to run with your kids. It features a front wheel that can be locked, that will allow you to keep your balance on rough terrain or off-road. It also comes with a large undercarriage basket, an adjustable handlebar, and a soft suspension for a comfy ride.
This is a very lightweight and compact option that folds in one hand and is great for travel. It is compatible with many infant car seats, and it has a handy undercarriage basket to store items. It's not cheap, but it has several notable features, like its one-click folding and many extras, like a bumper bar or raincover.
Stores
Many people are impressed by the capacity of storage offered by a 3 wheel double buggy. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket and two zip pockets on the hood, where you can keep your keys and phone. It's also designed to deal with a bit of rough terrain, so it's a great option for family walks and all-terrain walks.
Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and the ability to transport twins or a child and a toddler. (This is made possible by their 'PiggyBack board'). It's the slimmest side-by-side double available and it comes with some amazing technology, including game-changing LED visibility lights on each side of the frame to ensure safety in dim lighting conditions.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight stroller that can hold twins from birth, and is world-facing with a lie-flat position, is something different. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, yet it weighs about 11kg so it's easy to lift and manoeuvre. It can be used with the car seat, a carrycot or both. This allows you to have the best of both worlds.
