Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy comes with 17 different options for sleeping and seating kids, from newborn to toddler, and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.

This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you discover new routes and sights. Also, think about the overall price tag as well as the size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.

There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have larger footprints. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They are designed as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a newborn due to their clever seat 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 has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can change how your children sit in it. It offers a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is a great alternative. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will help protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an incredible single and can be adapted to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. This is the slimmest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.

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

Comfort

If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push through corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two children will allow you to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phones.

A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half in only a few seconds or so. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers an incredible range of options for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doors and public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling makes the difference.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet the needs of any child. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and transform into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel running buggy-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in many ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with three if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a convenient foot brakes make it a particularly safe. 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-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single-buggy, which means it can be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into the perfect resting spot within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
