Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel reversible stroller Wheels

This versatile buggy can be used as a single or double. It has 17 configurations to accommodate children from infants to toddlers and even a third when using the iCandy 'piggyback' board. It's also among the slimmest side-by sides and can be pushed through doorways like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and light stroller, with an easy to use fold that can be completed by one hand. It's also suitable for different environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to consider. You'll need to make sure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the cost, size, weight, and the durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget of course) will help maximise the resale value as well as speed up the purchase later on.

There are two types of double buggies with three wheels, based on how many children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing designs however they tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available. This is the smallest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through narrow doorways.

Tandem buggies, on contrary, 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 can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a 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 has 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 are seated. This gives you a choice of 30 seating configurations and is ideal for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.

The phil&teds sports is also a excellent alternative. This award-winning buggy is a world first that will safeguard your money in the future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint of a single buggy! The sling seat is the most important element to this. It's ideal for newborns and provides greater stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheeler buggy wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower and result in a lighter weight. They are easier to push and are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

A great example of this is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy available and has a footprint the same as one single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting in doorways or in public transport. Additionally, the fact that it can also take twins or two carrycots/car seats means it can be used from the beginning of time.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a light buggy that is ideal for urban life, yet also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension as well as the large rear wheels. Its lightweight 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 intend to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest 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 have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain and enable you to maneuver around corners.

Double buggys that work for two children will give you the flexibility to alter the seating to ensure that both children be comfortable. The best 3 wheel travel system double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.

Another thing to look for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps underneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that opens an opening and folds the frame in a matter of seconds. Some models can even 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 that offers the best flexibility for siblings or twins. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it'll fit through doors and public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. 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 option with three wheels, is suitable for everyday use. It's not as large or expensive as other models, however its fixed front 3 wheel travel stroller and narrow turning radius make it difficult to move between kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

The phil&teds sport is able to take two children in a variety of ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and can even accommodate Small 3 Wheel Stroller if you use their piggyback board (which is available separately for about PS120). It is especially safe because of its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and the handy footbrake. Plus, its parent tray is much larger than other double buggies, and the canopies have peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This multi-award winning side-byside is the tiniest fully-featured all-terrain double vehicle on the market. Its footprint is similar to a single buggy, so it fits easily through doorways and on public transport. Its amazing suspension can handle 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. The adjustable handlebar comes with an additional handbrake to ensure safety. The seats can be reversed which means you can decide to have your children facing forward or have the parents facing each other - great for siblings and twins of different ages.
