Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy comes with 17 different options for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back 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 fold that can be done with one hand. It is also suitable for various types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and attractions. You'll also want to consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process easier.

There are two types of double buggies that have three wheeler pushchair wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller, but they have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are some smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with a 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 arrangements and is ideal for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the future. It begins as an incredible single and can be upgraded to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with cheap 3 wheel buggy wheels are easier for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in less weight. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. It is suitable from birth, as it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks, it's worth spending more on one that can handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheel stroller set (Cucq.co.uk)-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart, or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel buggy 3 wheeler buggies-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy with 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, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it a particularly secure. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies, and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold into a compact form within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added security. The seats can be reversed, 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.
