Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheeler buggy Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the tiniest double strollers that fits through doors like a single pushchair.

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

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you discover new routes and attractions. Also, think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.

Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheel strollers wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however they tend to have a larger footprint. However, there are some super-smart models available that are able to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy available and can fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features unique 'cinema-seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is perfect for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will protect your wallet in the future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in less weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doors or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option right from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Look out for a 3 wheeled pushchair-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping phones, keys, and even keys.

Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame in just a few seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side by side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and 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 modified to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins, as the seats can face the parents and convert into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheeler buggies-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not as large or more expensive than other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in many ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate three wheel buggies if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for around PS120). It is extremely secure because of its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and the convenient footbrake. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, meaning it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can be folded down to a compact size in a matter of minutes. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added security. The seats can be reversible so that you can put the children facing one side or the parents facing one another ideal for siblings and twins.
