3 Wheel Double Buggy

A great option for parents who wish to go off-road The Fox 5 is a true all-terrain baby stroller. It features a fantastic suspension and big, puncture-proof wheels.

Our tester Claire was impressed by the neat, easy-to-open packaging and deemed it to be to be one of the quickest and most simple pieces of baby gear to put together. She took it out for a spin around the rough terrain and was extremely pleased with its performance.

Seats

Most 3 wheeled travel system wheel double buggies start as single pushchairs. However, some models can be modified to accept an additional seat by using adapters. You'll also find that some models allow you to add a ride-on board for older children who want to walk but still need some assistance.

For a light-weight option that's great for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to maneuver, and it has a large basket with lots of storage. It can hold twins from birth and will accommodate two car seats as well as seats and a carrycot. The seats are required to be oriented forward and there's no room for a shopping bag under, so you'll need a sidepack to do that.

If you like to take off-road trips then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a good option. It's a side by side with the smallest footprint of any double buggy on the market. This allows it to pass through doors with narrow openings and on public transport and enables you to climb up and down kerbs with no trouble. It also has a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted for more security and safety.

Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby. The seats can be reclining in multiple positions with UPF 50+ sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted so that the sun doesn't touch your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into triple by adding UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack" board for older children.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are among the most well-known on the market. This is due to their superb comfort. It's an all terrain pushchair, with a soft suspension that makes light work of bumpy surfaces. It can be used in 30 seating configurations, and includes a built-in ride-on board for older kids who prefer walking, plus a 'cinema seating' mode which raises the back seat to allow for better visibility.

The phil&teds dots are great single buggys that can be easily adapted to take two (or three!) different configurations. This is especially helpful when you have a child in a car seat because the frame can be fitted with a wedgie to allow for optimal lying flat, or car seat adapters to many brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheel double buggy is vital to how it will be easy for you and your child to push. It is important to have a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump on the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain like grass or roads that are not paved. Certain models also have locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.

Some models use air-filled tyres, which give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures so make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are specifically designed to handle bumps and can be less prone to punctures however, you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you decide to jog.

The side-by-side buggy is the best buggy for city walks. It comes with a superb suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit and you can bring two children on the same footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 through its tests with her newborn and 3 years old children, and discovered that it coped really well on difficult terrain: "it navigated effortlessly over pavements that were bumpy and grassy dirt tracks, cobbles and cobbles effortlessly and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and get up and down kerbs. The 16" rear wheels, coupled with the lockable swivel wheels on the front, make it an extremely comfortable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as well, including a spacious basket with a zip-top cover, large padded seat unit with 50+ UV hood and game changing visibility lights that are simple to use and recharge.

Folding

A three-wheel double buggy can be folded up neatly for storage. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as if they're in a pushchair position) and also those that pop up to reveal a more umbrella-like fold that has an electric brake. The more wheels a buggy is equipped with, in general the more easy it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than typical size. You will have more stability, and it will be less likely that you have to flip or tip your child.

The most popular model is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth with an infant car seat, and transforms into a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough to allow them to sit beside each one. It is a lightweight option that is simple to push. It also comes with a bumper bar as well as raincover.

Another alternative is the phil&teds sports which is future-proof since it's great as a single buggy right from the start and then adapts to accommodate 2 (or even 3!) in its small footprint. It is an innovative three-wheel design that includes a sling for better manoeuvrability and stability.

This is one of the best double buggies for jogging with your children. It features an adjustable front wheel that locks, that will allow you to maintain control on rough terrain or off-road. It comes with a huge undercarriage, a movable handlebar, and soft suspension for a comfortable ride.

It's compatible with a wide selection of infant car seats, and comes with a handy pull-out undercarriage basket that can be used to store shopping. It's a bit costly, but it has several notable features, like its one-click folding feature and a host of extras, like bumper bars or raincovers.

Storage

One thing that a lot of people love about a quality triple wheeled double buggy is its storage capabilities. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket and two zip pockets on the hood, where you can store your phone and keys. It's also designed to cope with slightly rough terrain making it a great choice for family walks and all-terrain strolls.

Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of room and the flexibility to transport twins or a child and a toddler. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack' board). It's the most compact side-by-side double on the market. It also has some amazing technology, like LED lights for visibility that are placed on each side of its frame to improve safety during low-light conditions.

For something different you can choose the Joie Evalite Duo is a light buggy that can hold twins from birth (it's open to the world and features the ability to lie flat). The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, but it only weighs around 11kg, making it easy to lift and maneuver. It can be used with a car seat, carrycot, or both. This lets you have the best 3 wheel buggy of both worlds.
