The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Buggy 3 Wheels

Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This multi-functional single to double buggy offers 17 options for sleeping and seating kids from infant to toddler and the third option with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a light and compact stroller with an easy fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. It is important to consider the cost as well as the size, weight and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.

There are two kinds of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available that manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy available. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem 3 wheeled buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a child with a newborn because of their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another great option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as an excellent single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheel infant stroller wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad, resulting in being lighter in weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.

One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or 2 carrycots/car seats allows it to be used from the beginning of time.

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

Comfort

If you're planning to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheel tandem stroller-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over rough terrain and allow you to easily push through corners.

A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries phones, keys, and even keys.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that triggers an opening and folds the frame within a matter of a few seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.

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

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for daily use. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to move up and down kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in many ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it especially safe. The parent tray is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it can be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down to the perfect resting spot in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for extra security. The seats can be reversible to allow the children facing one side or parents facing each other - perfect for twins and siblings.
