Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's a lightweight and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be completed with one hand. 3 wheeler pushchair 's also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the price and size, weight and the 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 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller, but they have a larger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy available and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children at different stages of development.
Another option is Phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the near future. It starts out as an incredible single and can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint 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 accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used at any time from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used for twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and carried easily. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks, then you should spend more for one that is able to handle the 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 fixed optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and enable you to get around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open an opening that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as big or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to move between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child car for running.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple 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 can purchase separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a convenient foot brakes make it especially safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is much larger than other double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other all-terrain model with full-featured features on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy, so it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension is able to tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down to a compact size in a matter of minutes. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added security. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have your children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for siblings and twins of different ages.
