Ten Things You've Learned In Kindergarden To Help You Get Started With Double Buggy 3 Wheels

Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways like a single pushchair.

It's an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, secure and content as you discover new routes and places. You'll also want to consider the overall cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase the value of resales and ease the buying process later on.

Based 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. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy available. It even fits through narrow doors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger. They begin as a single stroller, but can be adjusted with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or a child and newborn due to their clever seating 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 tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat' design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This lets you choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents with children who are at different stages of development.

The phil&teds sports is another great alternative. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a brilliant single from day one and then adjusting to take two (or three!) as 3 wheeled buggy grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect 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 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in being lighter in weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or using public transport. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, yet also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. It's lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground than other models.

Comfort

If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in one that can be able to handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to give you more control over tricky terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you to adjust the seats to ensure that both children be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys, and phones.

Another thing to look for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, taking only a few seconds or so. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth and comfortable ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be modified to meet your needs. It's a great option for twins because the seats can be facing parents and convert into 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 expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.

Safety

phil&teds sport can take 2 children in a variety of ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which you can purchase separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the handy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. Its footprint is the same as a single buggy, meaning it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into the perfect resting spot within a matter of seconds or two. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for extra security. The seats can be reversed and you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
