Buying a Double Buggy 3 Wheels
This buggy is able to be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from newborns to toddlers, and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's a lightweight and compact stroller with an easy to use fold that can be completed one-handed. It is also suitable for different types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's plenty to think about. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new sights and routes. Also, think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the buying process simpler.
Based on the number of children you have to carry There are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs but tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available on the market. This is the smallest buggy available. 3 wheel buggy can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a newborn because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back' board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features the unique 'cinema seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with children at different developmental stages.
Another option is phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a first in the world that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It starts out as a brilliant single and can be upgraded to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is made possible by the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in a lighter weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much easier to move up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market, and has the same footprint as one single buggy. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting into doors or taking public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a light buggy that's perfect for urban life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only issue is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks it's worth spending more for one that is able to take on rough terrain. Choose a model with three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control on tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to alter the seat positions so both children are able to sit comfortably. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries phones, keys, and even keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps under the seats that take the buggy apart, or a lever that opens a catch that folds the frame in half within a matter of a few seconds. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes 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.

This means that it can be used through doors and on public transport. 3 wheeler pushchair 's a bit heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to suit any need. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to an a tandem pushchair that has a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for daily use. It's not quite as large or expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and small turning radius make it difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. It's easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two kids in multiple ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and even handle 3 kids if you utilize their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). It is especially safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability, and a convenient footbrake. Plus, its parent tray is larger than on most double buggies, and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.
