Buying a double buggy 3 wheels (telegra.ph)

This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating kids from newborn to toddler and an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It is also one of the most slim double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

It's a lightweight and compact stroller with an easy to use fold that can be done one-handed. It is also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, comfortable and content as you discover new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost, size, weight, and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process simpler.

There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheeler pushchair off road wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have bigger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding 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 be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another good alternative. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day one and then adapting to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheel strollers wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide, resulting in being lighter in weight. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre between kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. It is suitable from birth, as it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that is able to take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to navigate around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be comfortable. The best options offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.

Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Some models can even 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-byside with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating options to meet every need. It's an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 wheel bassinet stroller kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which is available separately for around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it especially safe. In addition, its tray is larger than on most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension is able to handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold down into a compact position within a matter of seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversed so that you can put children facing forward or the parents facing one another which is ideal for twins and siblings.
