Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll need to make sure your children are safe and safe while you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase later on.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. This is the smallest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are designed as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby baby because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another excellent option. 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 2 (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or 2 carrycots/car seats means it can be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
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 be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
A good double buggy will allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children feel comfortable. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phones.
Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that opens a catch and folds the frame in a matter of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transport. 3 wheel pushchair 's a little heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and simple handling make up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins, since the seats can face the parents and can be converted into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for daily use. It's not as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even cope with 3 if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it especially safe. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the slimmest all-terrain model with full-featured features that is available.

The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for extra security. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing each other.
