Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel pushchair with car seat Wheels
This versatile single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating kids from infant to toddler and an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways just like a single pushchair.
It's a light and compact stroller with an easy fold that can be done with one hand. It's also suitable for various terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When you're looking to purchase a double buggy, there's plenty to consider. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and happy as you explore new routes and attractions. You should also consider the overall cost size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
Based on the number of children you need to carry There are two 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. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even 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 with adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be adjusted to different positions, so you can alter the way your children are seated. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.
Another great option is the Phil&teds sport. This award-winning buggy is a world first that will help protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as an incredible single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) As your family expands, you can make use of the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the key to this. It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less broad and result in less weight being placed on them. This means they can be pushed more easily and will also be much easier to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the tiniest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or on public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also be used with twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight 3 wheel buggy buggy that is perfect for urban living and also a great choice for rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers and babies due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight 3 wheel buggy frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. It's only downside is it's a bit harder to maneuver on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs it's worth investing in a model that can handle rough terrain. Find a model that has 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 mounted optimally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to make it easier to navigate around corners.
A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust the seat positions so both children are comfortable. The best 3 wheel stroller travel system choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that can pull the buggy apart, or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat (or carrycot) and yet has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models but its smooth ride and easy handling makes more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating options to meet every need. It's a great choice for twins because the seats can be oriented towards parents and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheel model that is suitable for daily use. It's not as big or as expensive as other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre between kerbs. It's easy to push though and can be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child car for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, with their car seat adapters, or a twin kit. They can even accommodate three kids if you buy their piggyback board separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and handy foot brake make it a particularly secure. The parent tray is larger than most lightweight double buggies and the canopies have peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double buggy on the market.
