Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping kids from newborn to toddler, and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back board. It is also one of the tiniest double strollers that fits through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be accomplished one-handed. It's also great over varying terrain and has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the total cost, size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise resale value and a smooth purchase later on.
Depending on the number of children you need to carry, there are two types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have a larger footprint. 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. It even fits through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child with a newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. 3 wheel buggy is perfect for parents of children who are at different stages of development.
3 wheeler pushchair &teds sports is also a good alternative. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in a lighter weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be easier to maneuver between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic illustration. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents 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 carrycots/car seats.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a light buggy that is ideal for city life and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in one that can take on rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust 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 space to store your items keys, phone, and keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame into half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
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 expands in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet your needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with three if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for around PS120). It is especially safe because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. 3 wheel buggy that it is on is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.
This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, so it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into an uncomplicated resting position in a second or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
