3 wheeler pushchairs was impressed by the clean, easy-to-open packaging and thought it was one of the fastest and easiest pieces of baby equipment to put together. She took it out to explore the rough terrain and was extremely pleased with its performance.

Seats

The majority of triple buggies start as single pushchairs. Some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat by using adapters. You’ll also see that some models will allow you to add a ride-on board to older children who would like to walk but require some assistance.

Check out the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight option that is perfect for urban streets. It is easy to maneuver and has a large basket with lots of storage. It can accommodate twins starting at birth and accepts two car seats, or a carrycot that has a seat. The seats must face forward and there is no space for a shopping bag under the seat. You will require an extra sidepack.

Mountain Buggy Duet will be the best choice if you enjoy off-road driving. It’s a side-by- side with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy on the market. This makes it easier to squeeze through doors that are narrow and on public transport and enables you to climb up and down kerbs with no trouble. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for added safety and security.

Another option that is light weight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double that can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby. The seats come with multi-position recline and UPF 50+ sunshades while the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your child’s eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into triple by adding UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board for older children.

The iCandy Orange is one of the most popular double buggies available because of its exceptional comfort. It’s an all terrain pushchair, with a soft suspension to make light work of bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate up to 30 seating configurations, and has an integrated ride-on board that can be used for older kids who prefer to walk, as well as a ‘cinema’ seating mode that raises the back of the seat to allow for better visibility.

The phil&teds dots are fantastic single buggys that are easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) Multiple configurations are possible. This is particularly helpful if you have an infant in a car seat as the frame can be equipped with a wedgie to allow for optimal lie-flat positioning, or car seat adapters for many brands.

Suspension

The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children are able to push it. A smooth ride is essential because babies feel every bump in the road, particularly if it’s in rough terrain such as grass or dirt roads. Certain models come with locking front tires to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models use air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be susceptible to punctures, therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, however they might be uncomfortable for your child if you decide to run.

The side-by-side is the most suitable buggy for city walks. It features a fantastic suspension system that allows you to effortlessly and comfortably traverse any terrain. You can even upgrade the duet with our dual kit, allowing you to accommodate two children – all within the same compact footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath tried the Urban Glide 2 with her three-year-old and newborn, and found it exceptionally adept on terrains that are difficult to traverse. “It was able to effortlessly navigate grass and bumpy sidewalks cobbles, dirt tracks and was easy to maneuver around corners and climb up and down kerbs.” It’s also very enjoyable to jog, with the 16″ rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels that provide a steady running experience.” The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as well as a large basket with zip-top cover, large cushioned seat with 50+ UV hood and game-changing lights that are simple to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded up in a neat manner to be stored. There are models that fold flat, stand up (as though they were in the form of a pushchair) and others that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding, with the option of a hand-operated break. The more wheels the buggy has, generally the more easy it will be to maneuver on rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than average size. You will have more stability, and it’s less likely that you will need to flip or tip your child.

A popular option is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth using an infant car seat and it can be converted into a side-byside double buggy once your child is old enough to allow them to sit beside each one. It’s a lightweight option, which makes it easy to push and is packed with extra features, including bumper bars and a raincover.

Another alternative is the phil&teds sports which is future-proof because it’s a fantastic single buggy from day one and can be adapted to take two (or even 3!) all within its compact footprint. It is an innovative three-wheel design that includes a sling for greater maneuverability and stability.

If you’re looking to jog with your children this is the ideal double buggies to jog with as it has a lockable front wheel that will help you remain in control when tackling hilly or off-road tracks. It also has a spacious undercarriage basket, an adjustable handlebar and soft suspension for an enjoyable ride.

It’s a light and compact option that folds by one hand, making it great for travel. It’s compatible with an extensive variety of infant car seats and has an undercarriage basket that can be pulled out that can be used to store items. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but it does have some distinctive features that make it a great price, including its slick one-click fold and numerous extras including a bumper bar and raincover.

Storage

Many people are impressed by the storage capacity of the triple wheeled double buggy. Some models like the Roma Atlas offer a generously-sized basket and 2 handy zip pockets inside the hood that keep your keys and phone easily accessible. It is also designed to handle slightly rough terrain which makes it a great option for family walks and all-terrain strolls.

Other models like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 offer plenty of space, and the ability to carry twins or even a baby and a toddler (it utilizes their ‘PiggyBack’ board enable this). It’s the most compact side-by-side double available and it comes with some amazing technology that includes game-changing LED visibility lights that change on each side of the frame to improve security in low-light conditions.

If you’re looking for something different and unique, the Joie Evalite Duo is a light buggy that can hold twins from birth (it’s open to the world and features the ability to lie flat). The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat, yet it weighs about 11kg, which makes it easy to lift and manoeuvre. It can also accommodate a car seat or carrycot, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds and it can help you save money in the future since you don’t have to buy a new buggy right away.
