Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be completed one-handed. It's also excellent on a variety of terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and happy as you explore new routes and attractions. It is important to consider the price as well as the size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will maximize the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.

There are two kinds of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy available. It even fits through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They are designed as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can alter the way your children sit in it. This lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents with children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is another good option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys that have 3 wheel double pushchair wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. They are easier to push and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic illustration. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option at any time from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a light buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to take your buggy out 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-3 wheel pushchair with car seat model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats to ensure that both children be at ease. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.

A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet every need. 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.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel infant stroller-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 kids in multiple ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 wheel stroller travel system kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability and handy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than most lightweight double buggies, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available that is available. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can be folded down into a compact position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
