Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a double or single. It comes with 17 different options to accommodate children ranging from infants to toddlers and even a third using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides that can fit through doorways like a single pushchair.
This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily with one hand. It is also suitable for a variety of types of terrains and comes with a handy shopping bag.
Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll need to make sure your children are safe and safe as you explore new sights and routes. You'll also want to think about the overall cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
Based on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy with 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 some smart models available which manage to keep their size down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to take the seat of a second child or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn due to their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into 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. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is perfect for parents who have young children at very different stages in development.
The phil&teds sports is another excellent option. This award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of one buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less broad and resulting in less weight on them. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent model. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. It is suitable from birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a great lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also able to ride on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily too. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Look out for a 3-wheel model with large back wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to alter the seat positions so both children are able to sit comfortably. The best choices include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phone.
3 wheel buggy to look out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame into half in a matter of minutes. Some models can fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet all needs. It's a great option for twins since the seats can be parent-facing and convert into a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for everyday use. It's not as large or more expensive than other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
phil&teds sport can take 2 kids in multiple ways, from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the handy foot brake make it especially safe. Additionally, the tray that it sits on is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.

The adjustable handlebar has an additional handbrake to ensure safety. The seats are reversible so that you can put the children facing one side or the parents facing one another which is ideal for twins and siblings.
