Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheeled buggy Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for sleeping and seating children, from newborn to toddler, and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be accomplished with one hand. It is also suitable for different environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. Also, think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make purchasing simpler.

Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however, they have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doorways!

Tandem buggies, on the other hand, tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. 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 with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions so that you can alter how your children sit in it. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with children at different developmental stages.

Another option is phil&teds sport. This 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 as a single buggy! This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel stroller lightweight wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in being lighter in weight. This means they can be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or taking public transport. It is suitable from birth, as it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only downside is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheel stroller lightweight-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to provide more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Some models can be folded with the seat removed to make 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. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models but its smooth ride and simple handling make more up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.

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

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 wheeler pushchairs if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it especially safe. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension can take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold down into a compact position within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats can be reversed, so you can choose to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
