Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the most slim double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller with an easy fold that can be done with one hand. It's also great over varying terrain and has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also think about the total cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies, on contrary, are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is perfect for parents with young children at very different stages in development.
Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your wallet by being a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used right from birth.
Another option 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, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain. Choose three wheel pushchair -wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control on difficult terrain and to allow you to easily push through corners.
Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.
Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling make more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating options to meet every need. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing and convert into a tandem pushchair with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as big or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child car for jogging.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a convenient foot brakes make it a particularly safe. Plus, three wheel pushchair is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopy has windows that peek out to improve visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy, so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down to a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats are reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
