Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to ensure your children are safe, secure and happy as you discover new routes and sights. You should also consider the overall cost as well as the size, weight, and durability. Picking a trusted brand (within the budget) will maximize resale and make the purchase process easier.
Based on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models available. This is the slimmest buggy on the market. It even fits through narrow doors.
Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They are typically started as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take a second seat or carrycot using adapters. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and a newborn due to their innovative seating arrangements. One example is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be converted into a triple by the addition of the optional "Piggy Back" board.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. It lets you adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This lets you choose between 30 different seating arrangements. It is ideal for parents with young children in different stages of development.
Another option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is the first of its kind that will safeguard your money in the near future. It starts out as an amazing single, but can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) As your family grows, you can still make use of the same footprint of one buggy. This is made possible by the sling seat, which is ideal for babies and offers superior manoeuvrability, stability and kerb pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggy 3 wheels are much easier to handle and manoeuvre than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, which makes them less broad and which means less weight is placed on them. 3 wheel pushchair are easier to push and are also easier to move around kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy on the market and has a footprint the same as a single buggy. It is ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting into doorways or on public transport. In addition, the fact it can also take twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used at any time from birth.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another alternative. This is a fantastic lightweight buggy that is perfect for city life and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or a baby toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and big rear wheels. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. The only downside is that it's slightly harder to manage than other models on uneven ground.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogs, it's worth investing in one that can handle rough terrain. Choose a 3-wheel model with large back wheels to withstand bumps, and a suspension system that absorbs shocks. Ideally, the front wheels should be fixed to provide more control on difficult terrain, and make it easier to push around corners.
Double buggys that are suitable for two kids will give you to alter the seating so that both children can be at ease. The most comfortable double buggys come with adjustable footrests and reclining seats for older children. They'll also have plenty of storage space for your shopping, car keys, and phone.
A smooth fold mechanism is another feature to keep an eye out for. Our Lab experts like models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart or a lever to open a catch that folds the frame in half in just a second or two. Certain models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
The Mountain Buggy Duet has won numerous awards and is a side-byside that is a great choice for twins or siblings. Its innovative frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means it will fit through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride compensates for the extra weight.
3 wheel pushchair is another popular side-by-side model that has 30 seating configurations to fit any need. It's a great option for twins, since the seats can face the parents and transform into a tandem pushchair.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight three-wheel option that's ideal for use in everyday life. It's not as large or expensive 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 be used to running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
