20 Things You Should Be Educated About Double Buggy 3 Wheels

Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

The versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller, with an easy fold that can be completed with one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. It is important to consider the cost as well as the size, weight and the durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will help maximise resale value and a smooth purchase process down the line.

There are two types of double buggy with three wheels, based on the number of children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing ones, however, they have larger footprints. However there are some smart models available that manage to reduce their size like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It can even fit through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They start as a single stroller but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and a newborn due to their clever seating configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can alter the way your children are seated. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents with young children at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is another good option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your pocket by starting as a brilliant single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or 3!) As your family grows, you can still utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

Generally speaking, double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and which means less weight is placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much simpler to move up and down kerbs.

An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. 3 wheel buggy is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or taking public transportation. It can be used from birth, as it can fit twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a light buggy that is ideal for urban life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. 3 wheel buggy is that it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that is able to 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. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to give you more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

A good double buggy allows you to adjust the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. 3 wheel buggy have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that triggers an opening and folds the frame into half in just a few seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is 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 make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used to running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with three if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, meaning it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into a compact resting position in just a few seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for added security. The seats are reversible so that you can put the children facing the front or parents facing each other which is ideal for siblings and twins.
