Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile single-to-double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping kids from infant to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single pushchair.
This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It is also suitable for various terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new routes and sights. Also, think about the overall cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget obviously) will maximize the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel pushchair off road wheels: front-facing and side by side. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby child with a newborn because of their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features unique 'cinema-seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents with children in different stages of development.
Another option is Phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the future. It is initially a brilliant single and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of one buggy! The Sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants and offers superior stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheel pushchair travel system wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or in public transport. It can be used as early as birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for urban living and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. It's only downside is it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more on one that can take on rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels that can take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to give you more control over tricky terrain and make it easier to push around 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 as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend 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, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers an incredible range of options for siblings or twins. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel stroller for newborn-wheel option, is suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
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 handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it extremely safe. Its parent tray is bigger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has windows that peek out to increase visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy, so it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into the perfect resting spot within a matter of seconds or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide safety. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
