Adaptability
There are many things to consider when buying a double stroller. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, secure and content while you discover new routes and places. Also, consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. Selecting a reputable brand (within the budget) will boost resales and make the buying process simpler.
There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. The side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller, but they have a larger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models available on the market. 3 wheeled pushchair is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They typically start as a single pushchair and can then be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. 3 wheeled pushchair are able to accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby child with a newborn due to their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
3 wheeler pushchair is another innovative tandem buggy with 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 choose from 30 different seating options. It is ideal for parents with young children in different stages of development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as an excellent single from day dot and then adjusting to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to make use of the same footprint of one buggy. The sling seat is the most important element to this. It is ideal for infants 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 that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in being lighter in weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Mountain Buggy Duet is a great model. It is the tiniest tandem buggy on the market and has the same footprint as a single stroller. This makes it perfect for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also be used with twins or two car seats/car carrycots makes it a great option right from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that is ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to maneuver than other models when walking on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks, it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle the rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be fixed to give you more control over tricky terrain and make it easier to push around corners.
A quality double buggy will allow you to adjust the seating positions to ensure both children are able to sit comfortably. The most effective double buggys have adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space to store your shopping, car keys and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps underneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that opens a catch and folds the frame into half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models fold with the seats removed, which makes them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won many awards and is a side-by-side with a lot of flexibility for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it can be pushed through doors and on public transport. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, has 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet your needs. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into an a tandem pushchair that has a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight three-wheel model, is suitable for everyday use. It's not quite as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to move up and down kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy by the addition of a separate child carrier for jogging.
Safety
phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or a twin kit. They can even take care of three kids if you buy their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is extremely secure due to its dual front swivels that are swivels at the front, maneuverability, and the handy 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 multi-award winning side-by-side is the tiniest, full-featured all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is identical to one buggy, which means it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down to an uncomplicated resting position within a matter of seconds or two. It also has a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety. The seats are reversible so that you can put the children facing the front or parents facing each other ideal for twins and siblings.
