Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using iCandy’s ‘piggyback’ board. It’s also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.

It’s a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with one hand. It’s also excellent on a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there’s a lot to think about. You’ll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. You should also think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.

There are two kinds of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models available which manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy available and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies, on the contrary, are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn because of their clever seat layouts. 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 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 arrangements 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 modified to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you’ll be able to utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It’s perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking the double buggy with 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as one buggy. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. 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 is a Lightweight 3 Wheel Buggy buggy that is perfect for urban life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used 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 drawback is that it’s a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you’re planning to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs then it’s worth spending more on one that can take on rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to give you more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.

A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There’s plenty of space to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled 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 be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways 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 compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. It’s a great choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheeler strollers-wheel option that’s suitable for use in everyday life. It’s not as large or as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it’s more difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It’s easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is slimmer than any other, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. It has the same footprint as a single buggy, so it is easy to push through doors and taken on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down to the perfect resting spot in a second or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward, or the parents facing one another – perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
