Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating kids from newborn to toddler, and even the third option with iCandy's "piggy back board. It is also one of the most slim double strollers and is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
It's a lightweight and compact stroller, with an easy fold that can be done with one hand. It's also suitable for a variety of environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the cost and size, weight and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process easier.
Based on the number of children you need to carry, there are two primary types of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are some smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can be rearranged to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a baby because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed to a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter how your children are seated. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a excellent option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will help protect your pocket by starting as a fantastic single from the beginning and then adapting to take 2 (or 3!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of a single buggy. The Sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in a lighter weight. They are easier to push and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. It is suitable from the moment of birth, since it can fit twins or two carrycots/car seats.
three wheel pushchair is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that's ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. It's only downside is it's a bit harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be fixed in order to give you more control on difficult terrain, and also to allow you to easily navigate around corners.
Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.
Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half in just a couple of seconds. Some models can even fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers an incredible range of options for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot but still maintaining the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling make up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. It's a great choice for twins since the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for daily use. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in various ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the convenient foot brakes make it a particularly secure. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.

Its incredible suspension handles tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added safety. The seats can be reversible and you can choose to have the children facing forward, or the parents facing one another - perfect for siblings and twins of different ages.
