Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping kids, from newborn to toddler, and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be done one-handed. It's also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the price and size, weight and durability. A trusted brand (within the 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 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheels: front-facing and side by side. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models available which manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy available and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn because of their clever seat 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 lowered or raised to different positions, so you can change how your children are seated. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is also a excellent alternative. This multi-award winning buggy is the first of its kind that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an incredible single and can be upgraded to take 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 is ideal for infants and provides greater stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys that have 3 wheel pushchair travel system wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less broad and resulting in less weight on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also easier to move up and down kerbs.

One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to provide more control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you to adjust the seats so that both children will be comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phone.

A simple fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases an opening and folds the frame in half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is especially safe because of its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggy 3 wheels buggies, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.

The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added safety.
