Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping children, from newborn to toddler, and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also among the most slim double 3 wheeler strollers and fits through doors like a single pushchair.

This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily with one hand. It is also suitable for various terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new sights and routes. It is important to consider the cost, size, weight, and the durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process simpler.

Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel stroller for newborn wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs but tend to have bigger footprints. Despite this there are some smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They typically start as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn because of their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat' design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating configurations and is ideal 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 near future. It begins as a brilliant single and can be modified to take two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still make use of the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheel jogger stroller wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to move up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or taking public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option from the beginning of time.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a light buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and moved easily. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that is able to take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

A quality double buggy allows you to alter the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your groceries, keys, and phone.

Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame into half in just a few minutes. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors 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 options that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can face the parents and convert into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models but its small turning radius and fixed front best 3 wheel stroller with car seat mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate 3 wheel pushchair travel system kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is larger than on most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.

This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it is able to be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension is able to take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts love the fact that it can fold down to a compact size within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have your children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
