Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel stroller with bassinet Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doors like a single pushchair.
It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with just one hand. It's also great over varying terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll need to make sure your children are safe and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You'll also want to consider the total cost, size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.
There are two types of double buggy with three wheeler pushchairs wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. However, there are some super-smart models on the market which manage to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it even fits into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn because of their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter the way your children sit in it. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is a good alternative. This multi-award winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the future. It starts out as a brilliant single and can be modified to take two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still use the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic illustration. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only downside is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks it's worth spending more money on a model that can handle the rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain, and also to enable you to navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children are comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys, and phones.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that triggers a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. 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 doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's a great option for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel running buggy-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it especially safe. In addition, its tray is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies feature windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.
This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. Its footprint is identical to one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into an uncomplicated resting position in a second or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats can be reversible so that you can put children facing forward or parents facing each other - perfect for twins and siblings.
