Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using the iCandy ‘piggyback’ board. It is also one of the tiniest double strollers that fits through doors like a single pushchair.

It’s a light and compact stroller, with an easy fold that can be completed with one hand. It is also suitable for different terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You’ll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. Also, think about the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget obviously) will maximize the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.

Based on the amount of children you’ll need to carry, there are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and can fit into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They are designed as a single stroller but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby newborn due to their clever seat layouts. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional “Piggy Back” board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features an exclusive ‘cinema seating’ design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter the way your children sit in it. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another good option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to take two (or three!) as your family grows – all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that’s ideal for infants and provides superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also easier to move around kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint 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 birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

3 wheeler pushchair is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for city life and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. It’s lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it’s a little more difficult to handle than some other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs, it’s worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.

A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They’ll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys, and phone.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers the best flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that 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 is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating options to meet any need. It’s an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for daily use. It’s not quite as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It’s easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for running.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it a particularly safe. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety. The seats are reversible so that you can have children facing forward or parents facing each other which is ideal for twins and siblings.
