Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheeled pushchair Wheels
This versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It is also one of the tiniest double strollers that can be used as a single pushchair.
It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily by using just one hand. It's also suitable for different terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the overall cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the purchase process easier.
There are two kinds of double buggy with three wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however, they have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted to a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions so you can change how your children will sit. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents of children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a good option. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in being lighter in weight. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be easier to move between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and has a footprint the same as one buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a light buggy that's perfect for urban life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control on difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to navigate around corners.
Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.
Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Some models can be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating options that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins since 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 is a lightweight top 3 wheel strollers-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy with 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, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it extremely secure. The tray that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This multi-award winning side-byside is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy available on the market. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, meaning it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into a compact resting position in a second or two. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide 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.
