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 infants to toddlers and even a third using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just like a single pushchair.
This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and happy as you explore new routes and attractions. It is important to consider the cost, size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-byside. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however they tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and it even fits into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby newborn because of their clever seat configurations. 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 that features a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter the way your children are seated. It offers a choice of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is also a great option. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as an excellent single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as a single buggy! This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers the best maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, resulting in less weight on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available 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 makes it a great option right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. three wheel pushchair is that it's a little more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more on one that can take on rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed in order to give you more control over difficult terrain and to enable you to get around corners.
A good double buggy will allow you to alter the seat positions so both children are able to sit comfortably. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts like models that have 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. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides great flexibility for siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. It's a great choice for twins, since the seats can be positioned to 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 everyday use. It's not as big or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to navigate between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the convenient footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available that is available. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, so it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can fold down into a compact position in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for extra safety. The seats can be reversible so that you can put the children facing the front or the parents facing one another which is ideal for twins and siblings.
