Buying a double buggy 3 wheels (to idea.informer.com)

This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller that folds easily by using just one hand. It is also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you discover new routes and sights. Also, consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make purchasing simpler.

There are two kinds of double buggies with three wheels, based on the number of children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however they tend to have bigger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models on the market that are able to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They start as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding 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 change how your children will sit. This lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents of children at different developmental stages.

Another option is the phil&teds sport. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will help protect your wallet by being a brilliant single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. They are easier to push and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.

One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option right from birth.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted in order to give you more control over difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to push through corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you to alter the seating so that both children can be comfortable. The most effective double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.

Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat removed to make them smaller 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. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling makes more up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can face the parents and convert into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheel model that is suitable for daily use. It's not as large or as expensive as other models but its small 3 wheel stroller turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with 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 accommodate three wheeler pushchair if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and a an easy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, so it can be easily accessed through doors and 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 in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added security. The seats can be reversed so that you can have children facing forward or parents facing each other - perfect for twins and siblings.
