Buying a Double Buggy 3 wheel stroller with car seat Wheels

This multi-functional single to double buggy offers 17 configurations for seating and sleeping children, from newborn to toddler and even an additional one with iCandy's "piggy back' board. It's also one of the tiniest double strollers that fits through doors like a single pushchair.

It's a compact and lightweight stroller that folds effortlessly with just one hand. It's also ideal for a variety of terrain and has a handy shopping basket.

Adaptability

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll need to make sure that your children are comfortable and safe while you explore new routes and sights. You should also take into consideration the price as well as the size, weight and the durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will maximize resale value and a smooth purchase later on.

There are two kinds of double buggies with 3 wheel stroller for running wheels, depending on how many children you'll be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing models, however, they have larger footprints. However there are a few super-smart models on the market that are able to keep their size down like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy in the entire world. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair and can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can take twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn thanks to their innovative seating arrangements. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by incorporating the optional "Piggy Back Board".

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another smart tandem buggy with unique 'cinema-seat' design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can sit in different positions. This allows you to choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is perfect for parents with children who are at different stages of development.

Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This world-first, multi-award winning buggy will help protect your wallet by being an excellent single from the beginning and then adjusting to take 2 (or 3 wheeled pushchair!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of a single buggy! This is made possible by the genius sling seat that's ideal for babies and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double buggys with 3 wheel parent facing pushchair wheels are more comfortable to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have four wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide and result in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much easier to move around kerbs.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example. It is the thinnest side-byside buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one buggy. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting in doorways or on public transportation. It can be used as early as the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great lightweight buggy that's 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-3 wheel running buggy suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only issue is that it's a little more difficult to manage than other models on uneven ground.

Comfort

If you're planning to use your buggy for long walks or jogs then it's worth spending more money on a model that can handle rough terrain. Consider a three-wheel model with large rear wheels to take the bumps, as well as a suspension system that can absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted to give you more control on difficult terrain and allow you to easily push around corners.

Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you the flexibility to adjust the seats so that both children will be comfortable. The best options offer reclining seats and adjustable footrests that can be adjusted for older children. There's plenty of room to store your shopping keys, phone, and keys.

A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts prefer models with straps beneath the seats to take the buggy apart, or a lever that triggers a catch and folds the frame in half within a matter of a few minutes. Some models can be folded with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side which offers great flexibility for twins or siblings. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second seat or carrycot while still having the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models but its smooth ride and simple handling makes up for it.

iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating options that can be altered to meet your needs. It's a great choice for twins as the seats can be parent-facing and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 Wheel Stroller For Running-wheel model that is suitable for everyday use. It's not as big or as expensive as some other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel mean it's trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy to push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carrier.

Safety

The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 kids in multiple ways, from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit, and even handle three if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for around PS120). Its dual front swivel wheel, superior manoeuvrability and an easy foot brake make it a particularly safe. Plus, its parent tray is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopies feature peekaboo windows for better visibility.

This multi-award winning side-byside is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy, so it is able to be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its incredible suspension handles the tough terrain like a pro and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds down into the perfect resting spot within a matter of seconds or two. It also comes with a hand brake on the adjustable handlebar for additional security. The seats can be reversible so that you can have the children facing the front or parents facing each other ideal for siblings and twins.
