3 Wheel Double Buggy

A great choice for parents who want to go off-road the Fox 5 is a true all-terrain stroller. Its suspension is impressive, as well as large wheels that are puncture proof.

Claire, our tester, was impressed by the packaging. It was easy to open and clean. She found it to be one of the simplest and most efficient pieces of baby equipment to put together. She took it for a spin around the rough terrain and was very pleased with its performance.

Seats

The majority of 3 wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take a second seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). You'll also find that some models allow you to include a ride-onboard for older children who wish to walk but require some assistance.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight option that is perfect for urban streets. It's easy to maneuver, and it has a large basket with lots of storage. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and can accommodate two car seats, or a carrycot with seat. The seats are required to be facing forwards, and there's no room for a shopping bag underneath, so you'll need a backpack for this.

If you're looking to take off-road trips and off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a good option. It is a side by tandem with the smallest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It is easier to get through narrow doors as well as on public transport. It is also able to climb over and up kerbs. The adjustable handlebar comes with an additional handbrake for security and safety.

Another option that is light weight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used for twins or a toddler and baby. The seats come with multi-position recline and UPF 50+ sunshades and the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can even be transformed into a triple by the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board for mobile older kids.

The iCandy Orange is one of the most well-known double buggies available because of its exceptional comfort. It's a true all-terrain pushchair with a soft suspension that makes light work of bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate up to 30 seating configurations and includes a built-in ride-on board for older kids who prefer walking and a 'cinema seating' mode that raises the back of the seat to allow for better visibility.

The phil&teds dots are brilliant single buggys that can be easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) in various configurations. This is especially helpful when you have a child in a car seat, as the frame can be equipped with a wedgie for optimum lying flat, or car seat adapters to various brands.

Suspension

The suspension of a double 3-wheel buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children can push it. It is essential to have a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump in the road. This is particularly relevant if you drive on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models have locking front tires that assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models have air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they can be prone punctures. Make sure you keep an extra set of tyres in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, which are designed to withstand bumps and are less prone to punctures, but you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to run.

The side-by-side is the most suitable buggy for city walks. It features a fantastic suspension system that lets you easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit and you can carry two children on the same footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 through its tests with her infant and three years old son, and found it performed admirably on difficult terrains: "it navigated effortlessly over grass and bumpy pavements, cobbles and dirt tracks effortlessly and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and go up and down kerbs. It's also very comfortable to jog, with the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels giving you a stable running experience." The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features with a large basket with a zip-top cover, large cushioned seat with 50+ UV hood and game changing visibility lights that are simple to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A three wheel pushchair-wheel double buggy could be folded up in a neat manner for storage. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as though they were in the shape of a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding, with a hand-operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to handle over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are bigger than the average size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will have to flip or tip your child.

A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat. It transforms into a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough to allow them to be seated next to each other. It's a comfortable and light-feeling model, which makes it easy to push and comes with extra features like raincover and a bumper bar.

Another option is the phil&teds sport that is a future-proof model as it's brilliant as a single buggy from day one and can be adapted to take two (or even 3!) All of this fits into its compact footprint. It features a clever lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel design and a sling seat for superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.

This is one of the most comfortable double buggies to jog in with your kids. It features a lockable front wheel that will allow you to maintain control over rough terrain or off-road. It comes with a huge undercarriage, a movable handlebar, and a soft suspension that gives you the most comfortable ride.

This is a light, compact option that is easy to fold with just one hand. It's ideal to take on trips. It's compatible with a variety of infant car seats, and includes a handy undercarriage bag to store shopping. It's a bit costly, but it has several standout features, such as its one-click folding feature and a host of extras, like a bumper bar or raincover.

Stores

One thing that people love about a quality 3 wheel stroller set-wheel double buggy is the storage capacity. Certain models, such as the Roma Atlas, have a large basket, as well as two zip pockets on the hood where you can keep your phone and keys. It's also designed for dealing with a bit of rough terrain, so it's a great option for family walks and all-terrain strolls.

Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and the possibility of transporting twins or two toddlers and a child. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack board'). It's the smallest side-by-side double available and comes with some impressive technology that includes games-changing LED lights on each side of the frame to improve safety in low light conditions.

For something a little different, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can seat twins from birth (it's open to the world and features a lie flat position). The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, yet it weighs about 11kg, which makes it easy to move and lift. It can also be used with the form of a car seat or a carrycot, so you enjoy the best 3 wheel travel system of both worlds and it future proofs your wallet since you don't need to invest in another buggy right away.
