Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile single to double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for sleeping and seating kids from infant to toddler and a third with iCandy's 'piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways just like a single pushchair 3 wheels.

It's a compact and light stroller that folds effortlessly with just one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new sights and routes. It is important to consider the price as well as the size, weight and the durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the purchase process easier.

There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheel twin stroller wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be slimmer but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market that are able to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies, on contrary, are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with young children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is another good alternative. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adapting to take two (or 3 wheel compact stroller!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general the double buggy with 3 wheel compact stroller wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in a lighter weight. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to maneuver between kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. This is the slimmest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used at any time from birth.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over difficult terrain and to enable you to get around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides an incredible range of options for siblings or twins. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great choice for twins since the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as big or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it extremely safe. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopy has windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it folds into a compact form within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional security. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have the children facing forward, or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
