Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile single to double buggy has 17 different options for sleeping and seating children from newborn to toddler and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a lightweight and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be completed by one hand. 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 your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also consider the price as well as the size, weight and the durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the purchase process easier.

Depending on the number of children you need to carry There are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side 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 be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.

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

The phil&teds sports is a good option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the future. It is initially an incredible single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and 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 broad which results in less weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or on public transportation. It can be used as early as birth, as it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic light buggy that is ideal for city life and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only issue is that it's a bit harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to give you more control over tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.

A simple fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, taking just a couple of seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy that means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling make more up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child car for running.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in a variety of ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate 3 wheel stroller set if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it a particularly secure. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies feature windows that peek out to improve visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all terrain 3 wheel stroller-terrain double buggy available on the market. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, so it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down to a compact resting position in a second or two. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have the children facing forward, or the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
