Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It is also one of the slimmest double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily by using just one hand. It's also suitable for various environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the cost and size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth purchase process down the line.

Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheeler pushchairs wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, however, they have a larger footprint. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available that are able to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies, on the other hand, tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can change how your children will sit. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a first in the world that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be upgraded to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel buggies wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. They are easier to push and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or in public transport. 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.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing 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 that absorbs shocks. 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 so that both children can be at ease. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phones.

Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, however its tiny 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 carriage for jogging.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle 3 wheel all terrain pushchair kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it especially secure. Plus, its parent tray is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same footprint as a single-buggy, which means it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported 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 a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety. The seats can be reversible which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
