Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels The 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 the iCandy '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 effortlessly by using just one hand. It's also suitable for various types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag. Adaptability When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's plenty to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content while you discover new routes and attractions. It is important to consider the price, size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process easier. Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing models, however, they have larger footprints. Despite this, there are some super-smart models available that manage to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow. Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby baby due to their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board". The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions.

This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and the ability to kerb-pop. Manoeuvrability In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are more comfortable for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and resulting in less weight on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to move upwards and downwards on kerbs. A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy available and has the same footprint as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or taking public transportation. It is suitable from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats. UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It is a light buggy that is ideal for urban life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to handle than some other models on uneven ground. Comfort If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks then you should spend more on one that can take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed optimally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to enable you to get around corners. A quality double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions so that both children feel comfortable. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones. Another thing to look out for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use. The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers an incredible range of options for siblings or twins. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight. iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet the needs of any child. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle. The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used to running buggy by including a separate child carrier. Safety The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/categories/3-wheel-pushchairs can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120).
