Buying a double buggy 3 wheel jogger wheels [read full article]

This multi-functional single to double buggy has 17 different configurations for seating and sleeping children, from newborn to toddler, and even a third with iCandy's 'piggy back' board. It is also one of the most slim double strollers and fits through doors like a single pushchair.

This is a compact and light stroller that folds easily with one hand. It is also suitable for various environments and comes with a convenient shopping bag.

Adaptability

When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's lots to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, comfortable and content as you discover new routes and places. You'll also want to consider the total cost size, weight, and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget obviously) will increase resale value and a smooth purchase later on.

There are two kinds of double buggies that have 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side or front-facing. The buggies that are side-by-side tend to be slimmer but have a larger footprint than the front-facing models. Despite this, there are some super-smart models available which manage to keep their dimensions down, like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can then be adjusted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted to a triple with the addition of a "Piggy Back" board.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat' design. It allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating options and is ideal for parents who have young children at different stages of development.

Another option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award-winning buggy is a first in the world that will safeguard your money in the near future. It begins as an incredible single and can be modified to take two (or three!) As your family expands, you'll be able to use the same footprint of a single buggy. This is possible thanks to the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and the ability to pop kerbs.

Manoeuvrability

In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and manage than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and narrower which results in less weight. They can be pushed easier and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

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

Another alternative is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's perfect for city life, but also comfortable on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler due to its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to lift and carry. 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 one that can take on rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be anchored to give you more control over 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 so that both children will be at ease. The best double buggys have adjustable footrests as well as 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 out for is a simple fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever that can release an opening that folds the frame in half, which takes only a few seconds or so. Some models can fold with the seat removed which makes them smaller when not in use.

The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-by-side with great flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the second seat (or carrycot) and yet has a footprint the same as a single buggy which means it'll fit through doors and on public transport. It's a little heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and simple handling makes up for it.

iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side that offers a huge 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's a great option for twins, as the seats can be positioned to face the parents and transform into the tandem pushchair.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3-wheel model that is suitable for use in everyday life. It's not nearly more expensive than other models, however its tiny turning radius and fixed front wheel make it more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used as a running buggy, with the addition of a separate child carriage for running.

Safety

phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in multiple ways. From infant to toddler, with their car seat adapters or twin kit. They can even take care of 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback board on their own (around PS120). It is especially safe due to its dual front swivels, its superior maneuverability and an easy footbrake. The parent tray is larger than many double buggies with a lighter weight, and the canopies feature peekaboo windows to improve visibility.

This multi-award winning side-by-side is the slimmest full-featured true all-terrain double vehicle on the market. It has the same dimensions as a single buggy so it can be easily pushed through doors and taken on public transport. Its suspension can tackle rough terrain with ease and our Lab experts love the fact that it can be folded down into a compact position within a matter of seconds. It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for additional security. The seats can be reversible so that you can put the children facing one side or the parents facing one another ideal for twins and siblings.
