Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller with an easy to use fold that can be accomplished by one hand. It's also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the price, size, weight, and the durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget obviously) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.
There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and can fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 that features a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can change how your children will sit. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents of children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a good option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your wallet by being a fantastic single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they can be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways or in public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or 2 carrycots/car seats makes it a great option from the beginning of time.
3 wheeler pushchair is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to provide more control on tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys and phones.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means 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 is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is especially safe because of its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. Plus, its parent tray is larger than on most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies feature windows that peek out to improve visibility.
This multi-award winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its suspension is able to handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts are thrilled that it can fold into a compact form in a matter of minutes. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added security. The seats are reversible to allow children facing forward or the parents facing one another which is ideal for twins and siblings.
