Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

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

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. Also, think about the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make purchasing easier.

There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheel push chair wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models available that manage to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and can fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter the way your children sit in it. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with young children in different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is also a excellent alternative. This world-first, multi-award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or three wheel pushchairs!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.

One of the best 3 wheel travel system examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. It is suitable from birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control on difficult terrain, and also to enable you to get around corners.

A good double buggy will allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half in only a few seconds or so. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

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

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet all terrain 3 wheel stroller needs. It's a great option for twins because the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even accommodate 3 wheeled pushchairs kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, so it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into a compact resting position in a second or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing each other - great for siblings and twins of different ages.
