There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have larger footprints. However there are some smart models available which manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy on the market. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can later be adjusted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate 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 converted into a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with the unique 'cinema seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents of children at different developmental stages.
Another option is Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3!) As your family expands, you can use the same footprint of one buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general Double buggy 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in being lighter in weight. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to manoeuvre upwards and downwards on kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. It is the tiniest tandem buggy available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or using public transportation. In addition, the fact it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used at any time from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban life and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only issue is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy for long jogs or walks it's worth spending more on one that can take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to get around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phones.
3 wheel double stroller to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes 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 can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can be used through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can face the parents and convert into the tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it 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 running.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 kids in multiple ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it especially secure. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight and the canopy has windows that peek out to increase visibility.
