The versatile single-to-double buggy offers 17 configurations for sleeping and seating kids from infant to toddler and the third option with iCandy's "piggy back board. It's also one of the tiniest double strollers that is able to fit through doors as a single pushchair.
This is a compact and lightweight stroller that folds easily with one hand. It's also great over varying terrains and comes with a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new sights and routes. You should also consider the price and size, weight and durability. A trusted brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make purchasing simpler.
There are two kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. This is the slimmest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through narrow doorways.
Tandem buggies on the other hand, are often larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair, but can later be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby newborn due to their clever seat layouts. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding 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 raised or lowered to different positions so that you can alter the way your children are seated. This lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents with young children who are at different stages of development.
Another option is the Phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your budget by acting as a fantastic single from the beginning and then adapting to take 2 (or 3!) As your family expands, you can utilize the same footprint as a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's ideal for infants and provides the best 3 wheel travel system maneuverability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
One of the best 3 wheel stroller examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one buggy. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or taking public transport. It can be used as early as birth, since it can accommodate twins or two carrycots/car seats.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a great lightweight buggy that's ideal for urban life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only drawback is that it's a little more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogging, it's worth investing in a model that can take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control over rough terrain and to enable you to get around corners.
Double buggys that work for two kids will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best 3 wheel travel system models offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your items phones, keys, and even keys.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that releases a catch and folds the frame in half in a matter of minutes. Some models can even be folded 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 with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's a bit heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling make more up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great option for twins as the seats can face the parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels is ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as some other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. It's simple to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways from toddler to infant with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even accommodate three if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). It is particularly safe because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the convenient footbrake. The parent tray is larger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side-byside double buggy is the slimmest, full-featured all-terrain double that is available. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle difficult terrain with ease and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into a compact resting position in a second or two. The adjustable handlebar comes with an additional handbrake to ensure security. The seats can be reversed, so you can choose to have the children facing forward or the parents facing each other - great for siblings and twins of different ages.
