Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the most slim double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.

This is a compact and light stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You'll also want to think about the overall price tag, size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggy with three wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however, they have a larger footprint. However, there are some super-smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy available and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of 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 raised or lowered to different positions so you can alter the way your children will sit. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with young children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is also a great alternative. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will safeguard your money in the future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be modified to take two (or three wheeler pushchair!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is made possible by the genius sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.

Manoeuvrability

In general the double buggy with 3 wheeler buggies wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.

One of the best 3 wheel stroller travel system examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or taking public transport. It can be used from the moment of birth, since it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a light buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or jogs it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheeler pushchairs-wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to give you more control over difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.

A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats to remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame within a matter of a few seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for jogging.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and even handle 3 wheel running stroller kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a convenient foot brakes make it especially safe. In addition, its tray is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is the slimmest all-terrain model with full-featured features that is available. Its footprint is the same as one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles 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. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added security. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
