Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third 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 lightweight stroller that folds up easily with one hand. It's also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
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, safe and happy as you discover new routes and places. Also, think about the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process easier.
Based on the number of children you have to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however, they have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into 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 lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter the way your children sit in it. This allows you to select from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with young children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a great option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as a brilliant single and can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or even on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's ideal for city life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. 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 ground than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in one that can handle rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheeled buggy-wheel model with big rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to give you more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries, keys, and phone.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame into half in a matter of minutes. 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-by-side that offers an incredible range of options for siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel compact stroller-wheel option, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even take care of three wheel pushchairs kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120).
