Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping kids from infant to toddler, and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the most slim double strollers and can be used as a single pushchair.

This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to think about when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You'll also want to consider the total cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the buying process simpler.

Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel Buggy for sale wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn because of their clever seat layouts. 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 is another super-smart tandem buggy with an exclusive '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. It offers a choice of 30 seating configurations and is perfect for parents who have young children at different stages of development.

Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your pocket by starting as a fantastic single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheeler pushchair!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as a single buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in less weight. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.

One of the best 3 wheel stroller travel system examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or using public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. The only downside is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in a model that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over rough terrain and enable you to get around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will allow you to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phone.

A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed which makes 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 siblings or twins. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as large or as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used to 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 with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and even handle 3 wheel pushchair off road kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120).
