The 10 Scariest Things About Double Buggy 3 Wheels

Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways just like a single pushchair.

It's a compact 3 wheel stroller and light stroller with an easy fold that can be completed with one hand. It is also suitable for different environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new routes and sights. Also, consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make purchasing easier.

There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheel running buggy wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller, but they have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are a few super-smart models available that are able to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of a '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 raised or lowered to different positions, so you can alter how your children will sit. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children at different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is a excellent alternative. This multi-award winning buggy is the first of its kind that will help protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be modified to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and resulting in less weight on them. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be easier to move up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or using public transport. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for urban living and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used for 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 harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that is able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheel double stroller-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over rough terrain and to make it easier to push through corners.

A good double buggy will allow you to alter the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The most effective double buggys have 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 out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers an opening and folds the frame into half in just a few seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and 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 ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be modified to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to move up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child car for jogging 3 wheel stroller.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it especially safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other all-terrain model with full-featured features on the market. It has the same footprint as a single-buggy, which means it can be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into an uncomplicated 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 reversible, so you can choose to have your children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
