Our test participant Claire was amazed by the clean, easy-to-open packaging and deemed it to be to be one of the quickest and most simple pieces of baby equipment to put together. She took it out for a spin on some rough terrain and was extremely pleased with its performance.

Seats

The majority of triple buggies begin life as single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take an additional seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are typically more common in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an extra board to older children who are able to walk but require a little help.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for urban streets. It's a breeze to move and has a deep basket that has plenty of storage space. It can be used to accommodate twins from birth and will accommodate two car seats as well as an infant carrycot and seat. The seats are required to be facing forwards, and there's not enough space for a shopping bag underneath and you'll need a backpack for that.

If you like to go off-road then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent choice. It's a side-byside model with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It's much easier to get through narrow doors as well as on public transport. It is also able to climb over and over kerbs. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake for safety and security.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that is suitable for twins or a baby and toddler.

The iCandy Orange is one of the most sought-after double buggies available, thanks to its superb comfort. It's an all terrain pushchair, with a soft suspension that makes easy work of bumpy surfaces. It can be used in 30 seating configurations and comes with an integrated ride-on board that can be used for older children who prefer to walk, plus a 'cinema seating' mode that raises the back of the seat to improve visibility.

The phil&teds dots are fantastic single buggys that are easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) Different configurations are possible. This is especially useful when you have a child in a car seat, because the frame can be fitted with a wedgie to allow for optimal position, and also car seat adapters to many brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is crucial to how it will be easy for you and your baby to push. A smooth ride is essential as babies can feel every bump on the road, especially if it's on rough terrain like grass or unpaved paths. Certain models come with locking front tires that aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are great for all-terrain riding, but they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have a spare set of tyres in the trunk. Other models use gel or foam tyres, which are designed to take the bumps and are less prone to punctures but you might find them a little stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back when you choose to jog.

"It was able to effortlessly navigate grass and bumpy sidewalks cobbles, dirt tracks and was easy to maneuver around corners and get up or down kerbs."

The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features too as a large basket with zip-top cover large cushioned seat with 50+ UV hood and game changing visibility lights that are simple to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded up in a neat manner to be stored. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as as if they were the shape of a pushchair) and those that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding, with an operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to navigate on rough terrain. This is especially true when the wheels are larger than average. This will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your children will tip or flip over.

The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car-seat as early as birth, and later converted into a double buggy side-by-side when your child is old. It is a lightweight option that is easy to push. It also comes with a bumper bar and raincover.

Another option is the phil&teds sport which is future-proof because it's a fantastic single buggy from day dot and can be adapted to take 2 (or even three wheel pushchair!) all within its compact footprint. It is an innovative 3 wheel pushchair-wheel design that includes the sling seat to provide superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.

Storage

One thing that people appreciate about a good 3 wheel running stroller-wheel double buggy is the storage capacity. Certain models, such as the Roma Atlas, have a large basket, as well as two zip pockets on the hood, where you can store your keys and phone. It's also designed to withstand a bit rough terrain, making it a great option for family walks or all-terrain hikes.

Other models like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 offer plenty of space and flexibility to carry twins or a toddler and a baby (it uses their 'PiggyBack' boards to allow this to be done). It's the most compact side-by-side double available. It also comes with amazing technology, like LED lights for visibility that are placed on both sides of its frame to improve safety during low-light situations.

For something different and unique, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can seat twins from birth (it's facing the world and can be used in a lie flat position).
