Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be accomplished one-handed. It's also suitable for various types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. Also, think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make purchasing simpler.

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. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available. This is the slimmest buggy available. It even fits through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby baby because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted to a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another excellent alternative. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for infants and provides superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight 3 wheel pushchair frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.

Comfort

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 take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over rough terrain, and also to enable you to get around corners.

A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so both children are able to sit comfortably. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys, and phones.

Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a couple of seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. 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 fit through doors and on public transportation. It's a little heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and simple handling makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even handle 3 wheel push chair kids if you purchase their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability and handy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has windows that peek out to increase 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 amazing suspension can handle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into the perfect resting spot in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
