Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from infants to toddlers and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It is also one of the most slim double strollers and fits through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller with an easy to use fold that can be accomplished one-handed. It's also excellent on a variety of terrains and also has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, comfortable and happy as you discover new routes and attractions. It is important to consider the cost, size, weight, and the durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make purchasing easier.
There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheel double stroller wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, but tend to have a larger footprint. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.
Another option is Phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will help protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be adapted to take two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants and provides greater stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheel baby stroller wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less broad and result in less weight being placed on them. This means that they will be moved more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or using public transportation. It can be used from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a fantastic light buggy that is ideal for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in a model that is able to be able to handle rough terrain. Choose a 3 wheeler strollers-wheel model with big rear wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two children will give you to alter the seating to ensure that both children be comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that triggers a catch that folds the frame in half in just a few seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit every need. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used to running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or a twin 3 wheel stroller kit. They can even take care of 3 wheel stroller set kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it extremely secure. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopy has windows that peek out to improve visibility.
