Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This buggy is able to 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 using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller with an easy to use fold that can be completed by one hand. It is also suitable for different 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 safe and safe while you explore new sights and routes. Also, think about the total cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget obviously) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase later on.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are a few super-smart models available that are able to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and it can even fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
3 wheel buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of one buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or using public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option at any time from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that is ideal for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items keys, phone, and keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts like 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, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy’s three wheel pushchair , another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be modified to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not as big or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to move between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle three if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.
This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into an uncomplicated resting position within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
