Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel push chair Wheels

This multi-functional single to double buggy comes with 17 different options for sleeping and seating children, from newborn to toddler, and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be done one-handed. It is also suitable for a variety of environments and comes with a handy shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are a lot of things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and happy as you discover new routes and sights. It is important to consider the cost as well as the size, weight and the durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make the buying process simpler.

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 tends to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Despite this there are a few super-smart models on the market that manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy on the market. It even fits through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies are usually larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so you can change how your children sit in it. It offers a choice of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is a excellent option. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general the double buggy with 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in a lighter weight. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to move up and down kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doors or using public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats allows it to be used right from birth.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for urban life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven terrain than other models.

Comfort

If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing ideally to give you better control over rough terrain and to make it easier to push through corners.

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

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides an incredible range of options 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 fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into a tandem pushchair with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3 wheel Stroller for running-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for jogging.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two kids in multiple ways, from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle three if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it a particularly secure. Plus, its parent tray is larger than on most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension is able to take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts are thrilled that it folds down into a compact position in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats can be reversed so that you can put the children facing the front or parents facing each other - perfect for siblings and twins.
