Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping kids 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.

It's a light and compact stroller that has an easy fold that can be done by one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and happy as you explore new routes and attractions. You should also consider the price as well as the size, weight and the durability. A trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process simpler.

There are two types of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

Another option is Phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It starts out as a brilliant single and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.


Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide which results in being lighter in weight. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent model. 3 wheeler pushchair is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents 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.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only drawback is that it's a bit harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be comfortable. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys, and phone.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes 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. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling make the difference.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as big or 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 easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with 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 especially safe because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double available that is available. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can fold down to a compact size in just a few seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats are reversible to allow the children facing the front or parents facing each other - perfect for twins and siblings.
