Double Buggy 3 Wheels: It's Not As Difficult As You Think
Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This multi-functional single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping children, from newborn to toddler and a third with iCandy's 'piggy back' board. It's also one of the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.

This is a compact and light stroller that folds effortlessly with one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.


Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and content while you discover new routes and attractions. It is important to consider the price as well as the size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the buying process later on.

Based on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tends to be slimmer but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models on the market that manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can alter how your children are seated. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is perfect for parents with children in different stages of development.

3 wheeler stroller is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the future. It is initially an incredible single and can be modified to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of one buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys that have 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide, resulting in less weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to maneuver between kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent model. It is the thinnest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or taking public transportation. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots allows it to be used right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It's a light buggy that's ideal for city life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in a model that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children will be comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phone.

Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch that folds the frame in half in a matter of seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating options that can be altered to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert 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 as big or more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even accommodate 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel with superior maneuverability and a handy foot brake make it a particularly safe. In addition, its tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the slimmest, full-featured all-terrain double on the market. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its suspension can handle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it folds into a compact form in just a few seconds. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
