Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways like a single pushchair.
This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and attractions. You should also take into consideration the cost, size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will maximize the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.
There are two kinds of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, however, they have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy in the world and it even fits into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted using 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 innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of a '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 adjusted to different positions so that you can alter how your children will sit. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents of children at different developmental stages.
Another option is the phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will help protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an incredible single and can be adapted to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the genius sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
3 wheeled pushchair
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad and result in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting in doorways or in public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a light buggy that is ideal for urban living and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models when walking 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 is able to take on rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and allow you to easily push around corners.
A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.
Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half in only a few seconds or so. Some models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. 3 wheel pushchair means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's a bit heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 children in many ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it especially secure. In addition, its tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that can be opened to allow 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 incredible suspension handles tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into the perfect resting spot within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for added safety. The seats are reversible so that you can put the children facing the front or the parents facing one another which is ideal for siblings and twins.
