Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating kids from newborn to toddler, and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller that folds easily by using just one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content while you discover new routes and attractions. Also, consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process easier.

Based on the number of children you need to carry There are two primary kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have a larger footprint. However, there are some super-smart models available that are able to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy available. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and 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 that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter how your children will sit. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is another great alternative. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your pocket by starting as a fantastic single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) 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 offers superior stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. They are easier to push and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for city life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, or even a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's slightly harder to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with large back wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed ideally to give you better control over difficult terrain and make it easier to get around corners.

A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. 3 wheel pushchair 'll have plenty of space to store your groceries, keys, and phone.

Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can 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 siblings or twins.

It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for everyday use. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety
