Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have bigger footprints. However there are some smart models available which manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet.

In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in being lighter in weight. They can be pushed easier and are also easier to move around kerbs.

The only issue is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that is able to handle rough terrain.
