Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This multi-functional single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating children, from newborn to toddler, and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways just like a single pushchair.

This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, secure and happy as you discover new routes and attractions. You'll also want to consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the purchase process simpler.

Depending on the number of children you need to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheel running buggy wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however, they have bigger footprints. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available that manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They are designed as a single stroller and can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can change how your children will sit. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another great option. This multi-award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be adapted to accommodate two (or three wheel buggies!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! This is made possible by the genius 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 with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad, resulting in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent illustration. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or on public transportation. It is suitable from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and carried easily. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Look for a 3 wheeler strollers-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to push through corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items, keys, and phone.

Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame into half in a matter of seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame expands in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be modified to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 wheel push chair kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, so it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds into a compact form in a matter of minutes. The adjustable handlebar comes with an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats can be reversible which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
