Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This buggy is able to be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from infants to toddlers and even a third using the iCandy ‘piggyback’ board. It’s also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways just like a single pushchair.

It’s a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It’s also ideal for a variety of terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are many things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You’ll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the cost as well as the size, weight and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will boost resales and make the buying process easier.

Based on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel stroller lightweight wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and it even fits into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of a ‘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 various positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is another excellent option. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an incredible single and can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as one buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that’s perfect for newborns and offers the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in being lighter in weight. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used from the beginning of time.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for urban living and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only downside is that it’s a little more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you’re planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging it’s a good idea to invest in one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed in order to give you more control over rough terrain and enable you to navigate around corners.

Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The best 3 wheel stroller options include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There’s plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.

Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that releases an opening and folds the frame into half in just 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 an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It’s heavier than other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet any need. It’s a great choice for twins because the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel baby strollers-wheel option that’s suitable for everyday use. It’s not quite as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. It’s easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 kids in multiple ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 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 a particularly safe. The tray that it is on is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it is easy to push through doors and taken on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for additional security. The seats are reversible so that you can put children facing forward or the parents facing one another – perfect for twins and siblings.
