Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This multi-functional single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for sleeping and seating kids from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the tiniest double strollers that can be used as a single pushchair.
This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It is also suitable for various terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you discover new routes and places. You'll also want to think about the total cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.
Depending on the number of children you need to carry There are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. 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 tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a good option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or using public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a light buggy that is ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best models offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phone.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame in a matter of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and simple handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability and convenient footbrake. 3 wheeler buggy pushchairsandprams is bigger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.
This multi-award winning side-byside is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down to a compact size in a matter of minutes. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversed to allow the children facing one side or the parents facing one another which is ideal for twins and siblings.
