3 Wheel Double Buggy
The Fox 5 is an all-terrain stroller that is ideal for parents who love to explore off-road. It comes with a suspension that is impressive and large wheels that are puncture-proof.
Claire who was our test subject was impressed with the packaging. It was simple to open and clean. She found it to be among the most simple and quick pieces of baby equipment to assemble. She took it out for a spin around some tough terrain and was extremely pleased with its performance.
Seats
The majority of triple buggies begin as single pushchairs. Some models can be converted to accommodate a second seat with adapters. Certain models let you add an extra board for older children who are ready to walk, but need some help.
Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for urban streets. It's easy to move and has a large basket with lots of storage. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and accepts two car seats or a carrycot that has a seat. The seats are required to face forwards and there's no room for a shopping bag underneath, so you'll need a sidepack for that.
Mountain Buggy Duet will be a good option for you when you love off-roading. It's a side-byside model with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy available on the market. It's easier to maneuver through narrow doors on public transport, and to climb up and over kerbs. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake for safety and security.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that can be used by twins or a toddler and baby. The seats feature multi-position reclining and UPF 50+ sunshades, and the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into triple by adding UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack’ board for older children.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are one of the most popular available. This is due to their outstanding comfort. It's an all-terrain pushchair with a soft suspension, which can easily handle bumpy surfaces. It can be used in 30 seating configurations, and has an integrated ride-on board that can be used for older children who prefer walking, plus a 'cinema seating' mode which raises the back seat to allow for better visibility.
The phil&teds dots are great single buggys that are easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) in a variety of configurations. This is especially useful if you have an infant in a car seat as the frame can be equipped with a wedgie that allows for optimal lying flat, or car seat adapters for a wider range of brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easy your child/children and you can push it. It is important to have a smooth ride since babies feel every bump that comes along the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain, such as grass or roads that are not paved. Some models come with locking front tires that aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures so ensure you have spares in the trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres which are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may cause discomfort for your child should you choose to jog.
The side-by-side buggy is the best buggy for city walks. It comes with a superb suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit and you'll be able to take two children in the same footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath test-driven the Urban Glide 2 with her three-year-old and newborn, and found it to be extremely capable on terrain that is difficult to navigate. "It navigated effortlessly across grass and bumpy sidewalks, cobbles, and dirt tracks and was easy for me to maneuver around corners and climb up and down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, combined with the lockable swivel wheel on the front, make it an extremely stable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as a large basket with zip-top cover, large cushioned seat and a 50+ UV hood and game-changing lights that are simple to use and rechargeable.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy can fold pretty neatly to be stored. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as if they're in a pushchair position) as well as those that pop up to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with an electric brake. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general the easier it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than the average. This will give you more stability and decrease the likelihood that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.
The most popular model is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat, and transforms into a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough for them to sit beside each other. It's a light option that is easy to push. It also comes with a bumper bar and a rain cover.
The phil&teds sports is a different option. It is future-proof as it's a fantastic buggy, and can be modified to take two (or three!) in its small footprint. It features an innovative three-wheel design that includes a sling for better manoeuvrability and stability.
If you're looking to jog with your children it is the best double buggie for jogging because it has a lockable front wheel that will help you keep your balance when tackling hilly or off-road tracks. 3 wheel pushchair has a generously-sized undercarriage basket, an adjustable handlebar, and a soft suspension for comfortable riding.
This is a lightweight compact model that folds using just one hand. It is perfect for traveling. It's compatible with a wide variety of infant car seats and has an undercarriage basket that can be pulled out that can be used to stash shopping. It's a bit costly however it comes with several notable features, like its one-click folding, as well as a variety of extras, like bumper bars or raincovers.
Stores
Many are awed by the storage capacity of a triple-wheeled buggy. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket, as well as two zip pockets on the hood, where you can store your phone and keys. It is also designed to withstand a bit rough terrain, making it a great choice for family walks or all-terrain strolls.
Other models, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 offer plenty of space, and the ability to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby (it takes their 'PiggyBack' boards to enable this). It's the most compact side-by-side double available and it comes with some amazing technology, including games-changing LED lights on each side of the buggy frame to ensure security in low-light conditions.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight stroller that can accommodate twins from birth and is a world-facing stroller with a lie-flat position, is something different. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate a second seat, but it weighs only 11kg. This makes it simple to lift and maneuver. It can be used with an infant car seat, a carrycot, or both. This lets you get the best of all worlds.
