When it comes to purchasing a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable, safe and content as you explore new routes and places. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will increase the chances of resales and make purchasing easier.
There are two types of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available on the market. This is the smallest buggy available. It can even fit through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies on the contrary, are usually larger. They begin as a single stroller but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. 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 innovative tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema seat design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in various positions. This allows you to select from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents of children who are at different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is a great alternative. This multi-award-winning buggy is the first of its kind that will protect your wallet in the near future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking Double buggy 3 wheels are more easy to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic model. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market, and has a footprint the same as one buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used right from birth.
Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and is also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to handle than some other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long walks or jogs then you should spend more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Look for 3 wheel pushchair -wheeled model with large rear wheels that can take the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to give you more control over tricky terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.
A good double buggy will allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children are able to sit comfortably. The best options have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phones.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating options that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be parent-facing and convert into an a tandem pushchair that has a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for daily use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's more difficult to maneuver between kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in a variety of ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels with superior maneuverability and a an easy foot brake make it a particularly safe. The tray that it is on is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopy has peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, meaning it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love that it can be folded down to a compact size within a matter of seconds. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar to provide safety. The seats are reversible which means you can decide to have the children facing forward or have the parents facing each other. This is great for siblings and twins of different ages.
