Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doors like a single pushchair.
This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily with one hand. It's also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also think about the total cost size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.
Depending on the number of children you need to carry There are two types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available that are able to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to accommodate the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn because of their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter how your children are seated. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with children at different developmental stages.
Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an incredible single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in less weight. This means they can be moved more easily and will also be much simpler to maneuver up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or taking public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It is a light buggy that is ideal for urban living and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins or toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, then it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
Another thing to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. 3 wheel jogger stroller can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the carrycot or second seat, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and simple handling makes the difference.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for daily use. It's not as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
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 accommodate 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopies have windows that peek out to increase visibility.

The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety.
