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 using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a lightweight and compact stroller with an easy to use fold that can be accomplished with one hand. It's also suitable for different terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost, size, weight, and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will maximize resale value and a smooth purchase later on.

There are two kinds of double pushchair 3 wheeler buggies that have three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

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

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

The phil&teds sports is also a excellent option. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as an excellent single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or 3 wheel buggy for sale!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the genius sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel bassinet stroller wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. It is suitable from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's slightly harder to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or jogs it's worth spending more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that work for two kids will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The best options offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries, keys, and phone.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller 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 take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has 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 expensive as other models, but its fixed front 3 wheel baby stroller and small turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the handy foot brake make it a particularly safe. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured 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 love the fact that it can be folded into a compact 3 wheel stroller form in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide 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.
