3 Wheel Double Buggy

A great choice for parents who wish to go off-road, the Fox 5 is a true all-terrain baby stroller. It comes with a suspension that is impressive, as well as large wheels that are puncture proof.

Claire, our tester, was impressed by the packaging. It was simple to open and clean. She found it to be one of the easiest and fastest pieces of baby equipment to set up. She tested it on some rough terrain and was impressed with its performance.

Seats

Most 3 wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs. However, some can be converted to take a second seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk, but still need some help.

For a lightweight option that is ideal for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It's a breeze to move and comes with a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins from birth and accept two car seats or seats and a carrycot. The seats are required to face forwards and there's no space to store a bag of groceries underneath and you'll need a backpack for this.

Mountain Buggy Duet will be a good option for you if you enjoy off-road driving. It's a side-byside model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It is easier to get through narrow doors as well as on public transport. It is also able to climb over and over kerbs. The adjustable handlebar has an integrated handbrake to increase safety and security.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that is suitable for twins or a toddler and baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50+ sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted to ensure that the sun doesn't reach your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into a triple by adding UPPAbaby’s 'PiggyBack’ board for older children.


The iCandy Orange is one of the most sought-after double buggies that are available due to its outstanding comfort. It's a true all-terrain pushchair with a soft suspension that makes light work of bumpy surfaces. It has 30 different seating options, a built-in board for older children who prefer walking, and a "cinema mode' that raises the back seats for better visibility.

Alternatively, the phil&teds dot is a fantastic single buggy that is available from day one that is able to easily be adapted to take 2 (or 3!) in multiple configurations. This is particularly useful when you have a child in a car. The frame can be adapted to a wedgie, which permits optimal lie-flat positioning. Car seat adapters that fit a wide range of brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3-wheel double buggy is vital to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. A smooth ride is crucial because babies feel every bump on the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Some models also come with front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models have tyres with air filled that are great for all-terrain rides, but they can be prone punctures. Be sure to keep a spare set of tyres in your trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres which are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they could be uncomfortable for your child if you decide to run.

The side-by-side is the most suitable buggy for city walks. It has a brilliant suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. You can also upgrade the duet using our dual kit, allowing you to carry two children all in the same compact footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath tried the Urban Glide 2 with her three-year-old and newborn, and found it to be very capable on difficult terrain. "It navigated effortlessly across sidewalks and grass cobbles, dirt, and tracks and was easy to maneuver around corners and get up or down kerbs." It's also very enjoyable to jog, with the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheel that provide a steady running experience." The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features too with a large basket with a zip-top cover, large padded seat unit, 50+ UV hood, and game-changing visibility lights that are simple to use and recharge.

Folding

A 3-wheel double buggy folds quite well for storage. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were a pushchair) and also pop out to reveal a more umbrella-like folding that has a hand-operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy comes with, the easier it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is particularly applicable if the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and make it less likely that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.

The most popular model is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth using an infant car seat and transforms into a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough to allow them to be seated next to each one. It's a comfortable and light-feeling model, which makes it easy to push and is packed with extra features, including bumper bars and a raincover.

The phil&teds sports is an alternative option. It is future-proof since it's an excellent buggy, and can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) within its compact footprint. It is an innovative three-wheel design that includes a sling for greater maneuverability and stability.

This is one of the best double buggies for jogging with your children. It comes with a lockable front wheel that will allow you to maintain control over rough terrain or off-road. It has a large undercarriage, a movable handlebar, and soft suspension that gives you a comfortable ride.

Pushchairs And Prams is a lightweight compact model that folds using just one hand. It is perfect for traveling. It's compatible with a variety of infant car seats, and it has a handy undercarriage basket to store items. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it does have some standout features that make it a good value choice, including its easy one-click fold and a host of other features like a bumper bar and raincover.

Stores

Many people are amazed by the storage capacity of the triple wheeled double buggy. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket as well as two zip pockets on the hood, where you can store your phone and keys. It's also designed to deal with slightly rough terrain making it a great choice for family walks and all-terrain strolls.

Other models, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of room and the ability to transport twins or a child and a toddler. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack' system). It's the smallest side-by-side double in the market and it has some impressive technology that includes game-changing LED visibility lights that change on each side of the frame to improve safety in dim lighting conditions.

For something a little different, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can seat twins from birth (it's facing the world and can be used in the ability to lie flat). Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, yet it weighs in at around 11kg, which makes it easy to lift and manoeuvre. It can also be used with an infant car seat or carrycot, so you get the best of both worlds and it will help your budget in the future since you don't have to invest in another buggy immediately.
