Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 options for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler and the third option with iCandy’s “piggy back’ board. It’s also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just like a single pushchair.

It’s a compact and light stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It’s also excellent on a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You’ll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content as you explore new routes and sights. You’ll also want to think about the overall cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.

There are two types of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however, they have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional “Piggy Back Board”.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with unique ‘cinema-seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents of children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is a great option. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an incredible single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It’s ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. They are easier to push and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent illustration. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or on public transportation. It can be used from the moment of birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It’s a light buggy that is ideal for urban life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only drawback is that it’s a bit more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it’s a good idea to invest in a model that is able to handle rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and make it easier to get around corners.

Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They’ll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.

Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a second or two. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It’s a bit heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling makes more up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It’s a great option for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It’s not quite as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It’s easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it especially secure. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies, and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the slimmest, full-featured all-terrain double on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into the perfect resting spot in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake to ensure security. 3 wheel pushchair can be reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing one another – perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
