The 10 Scariest Things About Double Buggy 3 Wheels

Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways just like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller, with an easy fold that can be completed one-handed. It's also suitable for different terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, comfortable and content as you discover new routes and places. It is important to consider the cost, size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.

There are two types of double buggies with three wheeler pushchair wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models available that are able to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat' design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another excellent alternative. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the future. It begins as an incredible single and can be adapted to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as one buggy. This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for infants and provides greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheel jogger stroller wheels are more easy to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.

A great example of this 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 perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. It is suitable from birth, since it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that is ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in a model that can take on rough terrain. Look for a 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.

A simple fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling makes the difference.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it more difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even accommodate 3 wheel infant stroller kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel 3 wheel pushchair travel system that are extremely maneuverable and the handy foot brake make it especially safe. In addition, its tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is the slimmest, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added security. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have the children facing forward, or the parents facing each other. This is great for siblings and twins of different ages.
