Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. It is important to consider the cost as well as the size, weight and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.
There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however, they have larger footprints. However, there are some super-smart models on the market that manage to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side 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 using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby, or a baby due to their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 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 that you can change how your children will sit. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is perfect for parents with young children at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as a brilliant single and can be adapted to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of one buggy. This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in being lighter in weight. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or taking public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats allows it to be used from the beginning of time.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. It's only downside is it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in one that can handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats so that both children can be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. 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 siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet all needs. It's a great choice for twins since the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for everyday use. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to maneuver 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 jogging.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopies have windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. Its footprint is identical to one buggy, which means it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into a compact resting position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety. try here are reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
