A Time-Travelling Journey How People Discussed Double Buggy 3 Wheels 20 Years Ago
Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 configurations that can accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily with just one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new sights and routes. You'll also want to think about the overall cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the buying process easier.

There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however they tend to have a larger footprint. Despite this, there are some super-smart models available which manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy available. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a newborn because of their clever seat layouts. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

Another option is phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially a brilliant single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide which results in less weight. 3 wheel pushchair are easier to push and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy available and has the same footprint as one single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.


Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to give you more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

A quality double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children feel comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries phones, keys, and even keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever that can open an opening that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel 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 carriage.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and a an easy footbrake. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is easy to push through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension is able to take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts love the fact that it can fold down to a compact size within a matter of seconds. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added safety. The seats are reversible which means you can decide to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
