Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This multi-functional single to double buggy offers 17 options for sleeping and seating children from infant to toddler and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also among the tiniest double strollers that fits through doors like a single pushchair.
It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with just one hand. It's also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new routes and sights. Also, consider the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process simpler.
There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. 3 wheel pushchair -by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, are often 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, toddlers and a baby child with a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is another good alternative. This multi-award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in a lighter weight. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to maneuver between kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has the same footprint as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that is ideal for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's slightly harder to handle than some other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over rough terrain and to allow you to easily push through corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best models offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.
Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open an opening that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be modified to meet your needs. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it especially safe. 3 wheeler pushchair 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. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into a compact resting position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversed, so you can choose to have the children facing forward, or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
