Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from infants to toddlers and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just 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 terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You'll also want to think about the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
Based on the number of children you have to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies tends to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. However there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy available. 3 wheeled pushchair fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child with a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions so you can alter the way your children will sit. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater 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 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. They are easier to push and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used from the beginning of time.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for urban life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily. The only downside is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or jogs then you should spend more money on a model that can handle the rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to provide more control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch that folds the frame into half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate 3 if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it especially secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.
This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy, so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into an uncomplicated resting position within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra security. The seats can be reversed so that you can put the children facing the front or the parents facing one another ideal for twins and siblings.
