It’s a lightweight and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be done by one hand. It’s also excellent on a variety of terrain and has an excellent shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You’ll need to ensure your children are safe and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You’ll also want to consider the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however they tend to have bigger footprints. However there are some smart models on the market that manage to reduce their size such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It even fits through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies on the other hand, tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to take the seat of a second child or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn because of 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 unique ‘cinema-seat’ design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents of children in different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is also a great alternative. This award-winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the future. It is initially an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as a single buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that’s perfect for newborns and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheel infant stroller wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide and result in less weight being placed on them. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to move around kerbs.
A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or taking public transportation. Additionally, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used from the beginning of time.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins, a baby and a toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and carried easily. It’s only downside is it’s a bit more difficult to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you intend to use your buggy for long walks or for jogging it’s worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps, and a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children feel comfortable. The best 3 wheel stroller double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They’ll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models that have straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart, or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and has a footprint the same as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doorways 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 configurations to suit any need. It’s an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be parent-facing and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with an extra seat/carrycot at the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model is ideal for daily use. It’s not as large or costly as other models, however its fixed front wheel and a small turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It’s easy to push though and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.
Safety
the best 3 wheel stroller phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in various ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even handle 3 wheel buggy kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and a convenient footbrake. The parent tray is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight, and the canopies feature windows that peek out to increase visibility.
This award-winning side-by-side double buggy is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. 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 folds down into a compact position in a matter of minutes. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide security. The seats can be reversed to allow children facing forward or parents facing each other which is ideal for twins and siblings.
