Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This multi-functional single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating children from infant to toddler, and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily by using just one hand. It's also suitable for different terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you discover new routes and attractions. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will help maximise resale value and a smooth purchase process down the line.

Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels (on front page): front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doors!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby, or a 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 a 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with children at different developmental stages.

The phil&teds sports is a great option. 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 adapted to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move around kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and has the same footprint as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to get around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to adjust the seats so that both children can be comfortable. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items keys, phone, and keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat 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 siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel stroller for running-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or a twin kit.
