Claire Our test participant, Claire, was impressed by the packaging. It was simple to open and clean. She found it to be among the easiest and fastest pieces of baby equipment to set up. She tested it on rough terrain and was impressed with its performance.
Seats
The majority of triple buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk, but still require a little help.
If you’re looking for a lightweight option that is ideal for city streets, check out the Joie Evalite Duo. It is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous basket that has plenty of storage. It can accommodate twins from birth and accept two car seats or an infant carrycot and seat. However, the seats have to face forwards and there’s no room for a shopping bag under and you’ll need a sidepack to do that.

It is easier to get through narrow doors as well as on public transport. It is also able to climb over and over kerbs. The adjustable handlebar comes with an integrated handbrake to increase safety and security.
Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double it can be used for twins or a baby and toddler.

The Vista 2 can even be transformed into a triple with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack board for older and mobile kids.

It can accommodate a massive 30 seating configurations, and comes with an integrated ride-on board that can be used for older kids who prefer walking as well as a ‘cinema’ seating mode that raises the back seat for better visibility.

Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine how easily your child/children and you can 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 paths that aren’t paved. Some models come with locking front tires that help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled which are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they are susceptible to punctures. Be sure to keep a spare set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they might be uncomfortable for your child should you choose to jog.

Folding
A 3 wheel double buggy can fold up very well to be stored. There are models that fold flat and then stand up (as as if they were in a pushchair) as well as those that pop open to reveal a more umbrella-like fold that has a hand-operated brake. The more wheels a buggy has, generally, the easier it is to maneuver on rough terrain. This is especially relevant when the wheels are bigger than average – this will give you more stability and make it less likely that your child will fall over or tip over.
The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used with an infant car-seat from birth and then converted into a double buggy side-by-side when your child is older. It’s a lightweight option, which makes it easy to push, and it comes full of extra features including a bumper bar and raincover.
