Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This multi-functional single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping kids from newborn to toddler, and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily with just one hand. It is also suitable for various types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. Also, consider the overall price tag, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.
There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional '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 raised or lowered to different positions so you can change how your children sit in it. This allows you to choose from a range 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 good option. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel pushchair off road wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in less weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or in public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic light buggy that is ideal for urban life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, then you should spend more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control on difficult terrain, and also to enable you to get around corners.
A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The most comfortable double pushchair 3 wheeler buggys come with adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your shopping, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's a bit heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even accommodate 3 wheel baby stroller kids if you purchase their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is larger than on most double buggies, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same footprint as a single-buggy, which means it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into a compact resting position in just a few seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide safety. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
