The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Buggy 3 Wheels

Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping children from infant to toddler and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back' board. It is also one of the slimmest double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.

It's a compact 3 wheel stroller and light stroller that has an easy fold that can be completed by one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. You should also take into consideration the cost, size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make purchasing easier.

There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on the number of 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 larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models available that are able to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat' design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.

Another option is Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants and offers superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in a lighter weight. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic illustration. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed in order to give you more control over difficult terrain, and also to allow you to easily get around corners.

A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a second or two. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make 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 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 can be used through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling makes the difference.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be modified to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into a tandem pushchair 3 wheels with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel running buggy-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to move up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a handy foot brake make it extremely secure. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, so it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into an uncomplicated resting position in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
