Buying 3 wheeled pushchair is able to be used as a single or double. It comes with 17 different configurations that can accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It is also one of the slimmest double strollers and fits through doors like a single pushchair.
It's a lightweight and compact stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be completed one-handed. It is also suitable for different terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll want to make sure your children are safe, secure and happy as you explore new routes and places. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and the durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth buying process later on.
There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, but tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies, on 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 accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a child with a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions, so you can alter how your children will sit. This allows you to choose from a range of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents with young children at different stages of development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winner buggy will protect your wallet by being a brilliant single from day one and then adapting to take 2 (or 3!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as a single buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and provides greater stability, manoeuvrability and the ability to kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs with 3 wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less wide, result in less weight being placed on them. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to move around kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great illustration. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one single buggy. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors or even on public transport. It can be used from birth, as it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a light buggy that is ideal for urban life and also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then you should spend more money on a model that can take on rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with big rear wheels to take the bumps, plus a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over difficult terrain and enable you to get around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you to alter the seating to ensure that both children be at ease. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for children older than. They'll also have plenty of storage space for shopping, car keys and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats that remove the buggy from the frame or a lever that opens an opening and folds the frame into half in just a few seconds. Some models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. 3 wheeler pushchair expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's a little heavier than some other models, but its smooth ride and easy handling makes up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit every need. It's an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be oriented towards parents and can be converted into a tandem pushchair with a seat/carrycot in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for everyday use. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, but its narrow turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used as a running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of 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 you can purchase separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheels that are extremely maneuverable and the an easy foot brake make it especially secure. Its parent tray is bigger than the majority of double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies have windows that can be opened to enhance visibility.
This multi-award-winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is identical to a single buggy, so it can be easily accessed through doors and on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into the perfect resting spot in just a few seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats can be reversed so that you can have the children facing one side or parents facing each other ideal for twins and siblings.
