Buying a
Double Buggy 3 WheelsThis versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doors like a single pushchair.
This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily by using just one hand. It is also suitable for different environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content as you explore new routes and places. You should also consider the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase process down the line.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two main types of double buggy
3 wheel pushchair cheap wheels: front-facing and side by side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and it even fits into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies, on the contrary, are usually larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can then be adjusted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn thanks to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of a 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions, so you can alter the way your children sit in it. This allows you to select between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents of children who are at different stages of development.
Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is a world first that will safeguard your money in the near future. It is initially a brilliant single and can be adapted to accommodate two (or
three wheeler pushchair!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad, resulting in less weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or in public transport. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a light buggy that is ideal for city life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only drawback is that it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven terrain as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain. Look for a
3 wheel double pushchair-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you to alter the seating so that both children will be at ease. The best choices offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a second or two. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its 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 transportation. It's heavier than some other models but its smooth ride and easy handling make more up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet the needs of any child. It's a great option for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel option that's suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as big or more expensive than other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used for running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate
3 wheel twin stroller kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). The dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it especially safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is the slimmest fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. Its footprint is the same as one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension is able to tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can be folded into a compact form in just a few seconds. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide safety. The seats can be reversible, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for siblings and twins of different ages.
