Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel stroller set Wheels

The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping kids, from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller with an easy to use fold that can be done one-handed. It's also suitable for various types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe as you travel new routes and sights. It is important to consider the price and size, weight and the durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will help maximise resale value and a smooth purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggies that have 3 wheel buggy wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side by side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer but have a bigger footprint than the front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies, on other hand, tend to be larger. They begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a newborn due to their clever 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 is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions so that you can change how your children are seated. It offers a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at different stages of development.

Another option is the 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 an amazing single, but can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers the best maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel Baby Stroller wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs with four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower, resulting in being lighter in weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much easier to move around kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy available and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or in public transport. It can be used from the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.

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 take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain and make it easier to push around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will allow you the flexibility to alter the seating so that both children can be comfortable. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined 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 simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame into half within a matter of a few seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side by side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating options to meet any need. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into an iCandy tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's easy to push and can be used as a running buggy by including a separate child carrier.

Safety

Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it extremely safe. Its parent tray is bigger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has windows that peek out to increase visibility.

This award-winning side-byside double buggy is slimmer than any other fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. Its footprint is similar to one buggy, which means it is able to fit through doorways and on public transport. Its suspension can take on rough terrain easily and our Lab experts love that it can fold into a compact form in a matter of minutes. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for extra security. The seats are reversible and you can choose to have your children facing forward, or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
