Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and happy as you explore new routes and sights. It is important to consider the price, size, weight, and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase later on.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs but tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies, on contrary, are usually larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn due to their clever seating 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 with a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can alter the way your children sit in it. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This 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 upgraded to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheeled pushchairs wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also easier to move around kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent illustration. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or taking public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over rough terrain and to allow you to easily get around corners.
Double buggys that work for two children will give you to alter the seating to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open an opening that folds the frame in half in 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 has won many awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however 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 positioned to face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel stroller cheap-wheel option that's suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as big or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.
