Buying 3 wheeler strollers is able to be used as a single or double. It has 17 options to accommodate children ranging from newborns to toddlers, and even a third using iCandy’s 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's a lightweight and compact stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be accomplished with one hand. It is also suitable for various types of terrains and comes with a convenient shopping bag.
Adaptability
There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe as you explore new routes and sights. You'll also want to consider the overall price tag, size, weight and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget, of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
Depending on the amount of children you'll need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller but have a larger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and can fit into narrow doors!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They start as a single stroller, but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby baby because of their clever seat layouts. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple with the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that has a unique 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so that you can alter the way your children will sit. This lets you choose from 30 different seating options. It is perfect for parents with children at different developmental stages.
The phil&teds sports is another good option. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your budget by acting as an excellent single from day dot and then adapting to take 2 (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of one buggy! The Sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in less weight. They are easier to push and are also much more easy to move up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a fantastic example. It is the thinnest tandem stroller available and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting in doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used at any time from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also a great choice for more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be carried and lifted easily. The only drawback is that it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be mounted to provide more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.
A good double buggy can allow you to alter the seating positions to ensure both children are comfortable. The best choices have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. You'll have plenty of space to store your groceries, keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another thing to look out for. Our Lab experts like models that have straps under the seats that can pull the buggy apart or a lever to open an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-byside with great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has the same footprint as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doors and public transport. It's a little heavier than other models but its smooth ride and simple handling make up for it.
iCandy's Orange Convertible, another popular side-byside, offers a massive 30 seating configurations that can be altered to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents, and can convert to the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight option with three wheels 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 maneuver through kerbs. It's simple 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 kids in multiple ways from infant to toddler using their car seat adapters or twin kit, and even handle 3 if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). It is particularly safe due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability and handy footbrake. The tray that it is on is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows to improve visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double available on the market. It has the same footprint as a single buggy so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and transported on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down to a compact resting position within a matter of seconds or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats are reversible so that you can have the children facing the front or parents facing each other which is ideal for twins and siblings.
