Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping kids from newborn to toddler, and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single three wheeler pushchair.

It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily with just one hand. It's also suitable for different environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, secure and content while you discover new routes and attractions. Also, consider the total cost, size, weight and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the purchase process easier.

There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it even fits into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. 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 has 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 sit in it. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is also a good option. This first-of-its-kind, multi award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheel parent facing pushchair!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in less weight. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used at any time from birth.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheeled pushchair-wheel model with large rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

A quality double buggy will allow you to alter the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys, and phones.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating options to meet any need. It's a great choice for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option, is suitable for everyday use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to move through kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even handle 3 Wheel twin stroller kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it extremely safe. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is slimmer than any other, full-featured all-terrain double on the market. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, so it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds into a compact form within a matter of seconds. The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other - great for twins and siblings of different ages.
