Based on the number of children you need to carry There are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions, so you can alter how your children will sit.

If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that is able to handle rough terrain.

Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
