Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This versatile single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping children from infant to toddler and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways like a single pushchair.
This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrains and also has an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. It is important to consider the cost and size, weight and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing ones, but tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, are often larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can change how your children sit in it. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another great option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an incredible single and can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) As 3 wheeler pushchair grows, you can still make use of the same footprint of one buggy. This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and result in less weight being placed on them. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. It is suitable from the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for urban life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain, and allow you to easily push around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame in half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the carrycot or second seat, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes more up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child car for jogging.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability and an easy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is larger than on most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies feature windows that peek out 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, so it is easy to push through doors and taken on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats can be reversible so that you can have children facing forward or the parents facing one another which is ideal for siblings and twins.
