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 iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller with an easy fold that can be completed with one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new routes and sights. It is important to consider the price, size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
There are two types of double buggies that have three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy in the world and can fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. 3 wheeler pushchair Push Chairs And Prams allows you to select from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents with young children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This world-first, multi-award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide, resulting in being lighter in weight. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or taking public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also be used with twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a light buggy that is ideal for city life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, then you should spend more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy will allow you to alter the seat positions so both children are able to sit comfortably. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys, and phones.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame in 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 the best flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's a great option 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 is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
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 a twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double vehicle on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is able to be easily pushed 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 to the perfect resting spot in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversible to allow the children facing the front or parents facing each other which is ideal for twins and siblings.
