Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel travel stroller Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content as you discover new routes and places. Also, think about the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make purchasing easier.
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 buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They begin 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, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions, so you can change how your children will sit. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents with young children at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is another good option. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an incredible single and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three wheel pushchair!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are more easy to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be easier to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.
One of the best 3 wheel pushchair examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or using public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control on difficult terrain and enable you to navigate around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.
Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that opens a catch and folds the frame in half in a matter of seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and public transport. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and easy handling makes more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as large or as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for jogging.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in many ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate 3 wheel stroller if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a handy foot brake make it a particularly secure. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.
This multi-award winning side-byside is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, meaning it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into the perfect resting spot within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for extra security. The seats can be reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for siblings and twins of different ages.
