Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile single to double buggy comes with 17 different options for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler and an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It is also one of the slimmest double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily with one hand. It's also suitable for different terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's plenty to think about. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.

There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheel jogger wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have a larger footprint. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are generally 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 and 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 that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter the way your children will sit. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is a excellent alternative. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will help protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be modified to take two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in less weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to move up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or taking public transport. It can be used as early as birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted ideally to give you better control over rough terrain and make it easier to push through corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your shopping, keys, and phone.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame into half in just a few minutes. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel travel stroller-wheel option is ideal for everyday use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with top 3 wheel strollers if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it extremely safe. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies feature windows that peek out to improve visibility.

This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other all-terrain model with full-featured features on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can be folded down to a compact size in just a few seconds. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional security. The seats can be reversible which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for siblings and twins of different ages.
