A great choice for parents who wish to go off-road, the Fox 5 is a true all-terrain pram. Its suspension is impressive and has large wheels that are puncture proof.
Our tester Claire was amazed by the clean packaging, easy-to-open and found it one of the quickest and easiest pieces of baby gear to put together. She took it out for a spin on the rough terrain and was extremely pleased with its performance.
Seats
The majority of triple buggies begin life as single pushchairs, but some can be converted to take a second seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models will allow you to add a ride-on board to older children who wish to walk, but need a little help.
For a light-weight option that's great for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to move and comes with a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can hold twins as young as birth and accommodate two car seats or an infant carrycot and seat. The seats have to face toward the forward direction and there isn't space for a shopping bag under the seat. You will require a sidepack.
If you're looking to travel off-road and off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a good choice. It is a side by side with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy available. This makes it easier to fit through narrow doors and on public transport and also allows you to go up and down kerbs with no trouble. The adjustable handlebar features an integrated handbrake to increase security and safety.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 double is another lightweight option that can be used by twins or a toddler and baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50plus sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted so that the sun does not touch your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into an UPPAbaby triple by incorporating UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack’ board for older children.
The iCandy Orange is one of the most well-known double buggies on the market due to its outstanding comfort. It's an all-terrain pushchair with a soft suspension, which can easily handle bumpy surfaces. It can be used in 30 seating configurations, and comes with a built-in ride-on board for older kids who prefer walking as well as a 'cinema' seating mode that raises the back seat to allow for better visibility.
The phil&teds dots are fantastic single buggys that can be easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) different configurations. This is especially useful for parents who have children in a car. The frame can be adapted to a wedgie, which allows for optimal lie-flat positioning. Also, car seat adapters that can be used with various brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a double top 3 wheel strollers-wheel buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children can push it. A smooth ride is essential because babies feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Some models also have front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Certain models come with air-filled tyres which are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres that are designed to withstand bumps and can be less susceptible to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to run.
The side-by-side buggy is the ideal buggy for city walks. It comes with a superb suspension system that lets you easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. You can even upgrade the duet using our dual kit in order to carry two children all within the same footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 with her newborn and 3-year-old and found it to be very capable on difficult terrain. "It glided effortlessly over grass and bumpy sidewalks, cobbles, and dirt tracks. It was also easy for me to maneuver around corners and get up and down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, when combined with the lockable swivel wheels on the front, make it an extremely comfortable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 has a number of features, including an enormous seat unit that comes with a padded cover, hood with 50+ UV protection, and easy-to-use and rechargeable visibility lights.
Folding
A 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel double buggy can fold up quite easily to store it. You can find options that fold flat and then stand up (as when they were in a pushchair) as well as ones that pop out to reveal more of an umbrella-style fold, with a hand-operated brake. In general, the more wheels a buggy comes with, the easier it will be to handle over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than average size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you be forced to tip over or flip 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 once your child is old enough to allow them to be seated next to each one. It's a lightweight option, which makes it easy to push and is packed with extra features, including raincover and a bumper bar.
The phil&teds sports is another option. It is future-proof since it is brilliant as a buggy and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) in its small footprint. It has a clever 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel design and a sling seat for greater maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.
If you want to jog with your children this is the ideal double buggies to jog with as it has a lockable swivel front wheel that helps you stay in control when tackling hilly or off-road tracks. It features a big undercarriage, a movable handlebar, and a soft suspension that gives you a comfortable ride.
It's a lightweight and compact option that folds in one hand and is perfect for traveling. It's compatible with a wide variety of infant car seats, and comes with an easy-to-pull-out undercarriage bag that can be used to stash shopping. It's a bit on expensive side, but it does have a few notable features that make it a good option for value, such as its simple one-click fold, and lots of extras like a bumper bar and raincover.
Stores
One thing that a lot of people appreciate about a good 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel double buggy is its storage capabilities. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket, as well as two zip pockets on the hood that you can store your keys and phone. It's also designed to cope with slightly rough terrain so it's a great choice for family walks and all-terrain walks.
Other models, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and ability to transport twins or two toddlers and a child. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack board'). It's the smallest side-by-side double available. It also has some impressive features, such as LED visibility lights that are placed on both sides of the frame to improve safety during low-light conditions.
For something different, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can accommodate twins from birth (it's facing the world and can be used in the ability to lie flat). The frame's clever design expands to accommodate an extra seat, but still weighs only 11kg. This makes it simple to lift and maneuver. It can be used with an infant car seat, a carrycot or both. This lets you get the best of all worlds.
