There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller, but they have a larger area than front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models available which manage to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy available. It even fits through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn due 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.
