Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are safe and safe as you travel new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost and size, weight and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two primary kinds 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 larger footprints. 3 wheeler pushchair is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it even fits into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They are designed as a single stroller and can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby child with a newborn because of their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating 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 lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter how your children sit in it. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another excellent alternative. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winner buggy will protect your budget by acting as a fantastic single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great illustration. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or even on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and moved easily. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
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 rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, three wheel pushchair should be mounted to give you more control over difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phone.
Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that opens an opening and folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed, making them more compact 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 accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can face the parents and transform into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This multi-award winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy available on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, meaning it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its suspension is able to tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold down into a compact position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added safety. The seats are reversible so that you can have children facing forward or parents facing each other ideal for siblings and twins.
