Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with just one hand. It's also suitable for a variety of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are many things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also consider the total cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will help maximise resale value and a smooth purchase process down the line.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn due 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 with an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter the way your children are seated. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is another good alternative. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your wallet by being a fantastic single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or 3 wheel baby buggy!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is possible thanks to the genius sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys that have 3 wheel stroller for newborn wheels are easier for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is because the best 3 wheel stroller front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to maneuver between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or on public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens a catch and folds the frame in just a few minutes. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's a bit heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling makes more up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's 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 difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
