Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also one of the slimmest double strollers and fits through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller with an easy fold that can be completed by one hand. It's also great over varying terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and places. You'll also want to think about the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.

There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on the number of 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. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn because of their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.

Another option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a first in the world that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheeler pushchair wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in less weight. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to move between kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or taking public transport. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain and enable you to push through corners.

A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are comfortable. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a couple of seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into an iCandy tandem pushchair 3 wheels.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not as big or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to move up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for running.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it a particularly secure. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopies have 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. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold down to a compact size in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety. The seats can be reversed so that you can put the children facing the front or parents facing each other - perfect for siblings and twins.
