Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheeler pushchairs Wheels
This multi-functional single to double buggy comes with 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping kids from newborn to toddler and a third with iCandy's 'piggy back' board. It is also one of the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly by using just one hand. It is also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the price as well as the size, weight and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two main types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing designs however, they have bigger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models on the market which manage to reduce their size, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies, on the other hand, tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller and can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby baby because of their innovative 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 with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can alter the way your children sit in it. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents of children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a fantastic single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or 3 wheel travel stroller!) 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 kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. They are easier to push and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent example. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used right from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. It's only downside is it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three wheel buggies-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and enable you to maneuver 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 most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats 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 simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame into half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded to take the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating options to meet every need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and convert into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child car for running.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the convenient footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, meaning it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats are reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other - great for siblings and twins of different ages.
