Buying a Double Buggy
3 wheel stroller reversible seat 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 using iCandy's 'piggyback' boards. It's also among the slimmest side-by-sides and fits through doorways like a single pushchair.
It's a compact and light stroller that has an easy to use fold that can be done by one hand. It's also excellent on a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.
Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's lots to consider. You'll want to ensure your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also consider the price, size, weight, and durability. Choosing a well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase the value of resales and ease the purchase process down the line.
There are two types of double buggy with
3 wheel stroller with bassinet wheels, depending on the number of children you'll be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however they tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available. It is the tiniest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies, on the contrary, are usually larger. They start as a single stroller and can be adjusted with 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 because of their innovative seat configurations. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be transformed into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy with a unique 'cinema ' seating design that allows the rear seat to be lowered or raised to different positions so you can change how your children sit in it. This lets you choose from 30 different seating configurations. It is ideal for parents with young children in different stages of development.
The phil&teds sports is another excellent option. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will future proof your pocket by starting as a brilliant single from the beginning and then adapting to take two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint as one buggy! The Sling seat is the key to this. It's ideal for newborns, and provides superior stability, maneuverability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
Generally speaking, double buggy
3 wheeled travel system wheels are much easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with four wheels. This is due to the fact that the front wheels are smaller, making them less broad and resulting in less weight on them. This means that they will be pushed more easily, and will also be much simpler to maneuver up and down kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. It is perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting in doorways or taking public transportation. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or 2 carrycots/car seats allows it to be used right from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic,
lightweight 3 wheel stroller buggy that's perfect for city life, but also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It can be used for twins, or even a baby and toddler thanks to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its lightweight frame means it can be lifted and moved easily too. The only issue is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to utilize your buggy for long jogs or walks then it's worth spending more for one that is able to handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, as well as a suspension system that absorbs shocks. The front wheels should be securing in order to give you more control on difficult terrain, and also to make it easier to get around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two children will allow you to alter the seating so that both children can be comfortable. The best double buggys have adjustable seating and footrests that can be reclined for older children. There's plenty of space to store your items, keys, and phone.
Another thing to look for is a slick fold mechanism. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps beneath the seats to pull the buggy apart or a lever that releases a catch that folds the frame in half in just a few minutes. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and has the same footprint as a single buggy, that means it can fit through doorways and on public transport. It's a bit heavier than other models but its smooth ride and simple handling makes the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to suit all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins because the seats can be facing parents and convert into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight 3-wheel option is ideal for daily use. It's not as large or costly as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it difficult to navigate through kerbs. It's easy to push and can also be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carrier for running.
Safety
Phil&teds Sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters or twin
3 wheel push chair wheel stroller -
recommended - kit. They can even handle three kids if you buy their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel that are extremely maneuverable and the handy foot brake make it a particularly secure. In addition, its tray is much larger than other lightweight double buggies and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.
This award-winning side by side double buggy is slimmer than any other, full-featured all-terrain double on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single-buggy, which means it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its remarkable suspension can tackle the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts are enthused that it folds down into an uncomplicated resting position within a matter of seconds or two. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for added safety. The seats can be reversible which means you can decide to have your children facing forward or the parents facing one another - perfect for twins and siblings of different ages.
