Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be completed one-handed. It is also suitable for various environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are a variety of factors to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process simpler.
There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have a larger footprint. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to keep their size down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, tend to be larger. They start as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seat layouts. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter the way your children are seated. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents of children in different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a excellent option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a fantastic single from day dot and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad, resulting in a lighter weight. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent illustration. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It is a light buggy that is ideal for urban life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more on one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push through corners.
Double buggys that work for two kids will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half in only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.
three wheel pushchairs is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with 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 nearly as expensive as some other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. It has the same footprint as a single-buggy, which means it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position in just a few seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for additional security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for siblings and twins of different ages.
