Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a double or single. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single pushchair.

This is an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds up easily by using just one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrains and comes with an excellent shopping basket.

Adaptability

When you're looking to purchase a double pushchair 3 wheeler buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and content while you discover new routes and places. You should also consider the total cost, size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process easier.

There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs but tend to have larger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models on the market that are able to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller and can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another innovative tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is another excellent option. This multi-award-winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the future. It starts out as an incredible single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in being lighter in weight. This means that they can be moved more easily and will also be easier to move upwards and downwards on kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. This is the slimmest tandem stroller available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting in doorways or even on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats makes it a great option at any time from birth.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a fantastic light buggy that is ideal for urban living and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more on one that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

A good double buggy can allow you to adjust the seating positions so that both children are able to sit comfortably. The best options offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys, and phones.

Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens a catch and folds the frame in half in a matter of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers the best 3 wheel stroller travel system flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair 3 wheels 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 expensive as other models, however its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a 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 take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is especially safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and the an easy footbrake. Plus, its parent tray is larger than on most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have windows that can be opened to allow for better visibility.

This multi-award winning side-byside is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double buggy available on the market. It has the same dimensions 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 in a matter of minutes. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats are reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward or the parents facing each other. This is great for twins and siblings of different ages.
