Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the tiniest double strollers that can be used as a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller that folds up easily by using just one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. It is important to consider the price, size, weight, and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will maximize the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry There are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent alternative. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will help protect your wallet in the near 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 of one buggy! 3 wheeler pushchair is the most important element to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in being lighter in weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to maneuver upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent model. It is the tiniest 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 doorways or on public transport. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over rough terrain and to allow you to easily navigate around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in just a few minutes. Certain 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 with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and simple handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into an iCandy tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for daily use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to move between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two kids in multiple ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for around PS120). It is extremely secure due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and a an easy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it is easy to push 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 the perfect resting spot in a second or two. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats can be reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
