Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the most slim double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.

It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily with just one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.

Depending on the number of children you need to carry, there are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller, but they have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models on the market that are able to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They start 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, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.

Another option is Phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day dot and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3 wheel stroller travel system!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of 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

Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad, resulting in less weight. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much easier to move up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. It is suitable from the moment of birth, since it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for urban living and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheel baby Buggy-wheel model with large back wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and to make it easier to get around corners.

Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling makes the difference.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as large or as expensive as other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it extremely safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other all-terrain model with full-featured features that is available. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold into a compact 3 wheel stroller form in just a few seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats can be 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.
