The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Double Buggy 3 Wheels
Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This multi-functional single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping 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 like a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller with an easy fold that can be completed with one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are a variety of factors to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheel all terrain pushchair wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however, they have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. This is the slimmest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to take a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby, or a newborn due to their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents with young children at different stages of development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will help protect your wallet by being a fantastic single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with lightest 3 wheel stroller wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option from the beginning of time.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheeled pushchair-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over rough terrain and make it easier to navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.
Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the carrycot or second seat, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's a bit heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and easy handling makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating options to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels, is suitable for everyday use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two kids in multiple ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). It is especially safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. In addition, its tray is larger than on most double buggies, and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other, full-featured all-terrain double 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 tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down to a compact size in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversible which means you can decide to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing each other. This is great for siblings and twins of different ages.
