Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This multi-functional single to double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping children from infant to toddler, and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back' board. It's also among the slimmest double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily with one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost and size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They are designed as a single stroller and can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter how your children sit in it. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents with children in different stages of development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will safeguard your money in the near future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.
3 wheeler pushchair
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in a lighter weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or using public transport. It can be used as early as birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that is ideal for city life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only downside is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that is able to take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items keys, phone, and keys.
Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open a catch that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as large or as expensive as some other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's easy 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 various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side-byside double buggy is slimmer than any other all-terrain model with full-featured features that is available. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, so it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can be folded down to a compact size in just a few seconds. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
