Adaptability
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when purchasing a double stroller. You'll want to ensure that your children are safe, secure and content as you explore new routes and sights. jogging 3 wheel stroller should also think about the overall price tag size, weight, and durability. Selecting a brand that is well-known (within your budget of course) will maximize the value of resales and ease the purchase later on.
There are two types of double buggies with 3 wheels, depending on the number of children you will be carrying: side-by-side and front-facing. Side-by-side buggies tends to be smaller, but they have a bigger area than front-facing models. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models available on the market. This is the smallest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.
Tandem buggies are generally larger. They start as a single stroller, but can be adjusted using adapters to accommodate a second seat, or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can take twins or a toddler and a baby or a child with a newborn thanks 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 unique 'cinema-seat' design. This 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 arrangements and is perfect for parents with young children who are at very different stages in development.
Another great option is the phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the near future. It is initially a brilliant single and can be upgraded to accommodate two (or three!) as your family grows - all within the same footprint of one buggy! This is possible thanks to the innovative sling seat that's perfect for newborns and offers greater maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs that have 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less wide which results in being lighter in weight. They are easier to push and are also much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.
One of the best examples is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest tandem buggy on the market and has the same dimensions as a single stroller. This makes it ideal for parents worried about fitting through doorways or on public transport. It is suitable from the moment of birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It is a lightweight buggy that is perfect for urban living and is also comfortable on rough or uneven terrain. It is suitable for twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame makes it easy to lift and carry. It's only downside is it's a bit more difficult to handle on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to use your buggy on long walks or for jogs it's a good idea to invest in a model that can be able to handle rough terrain. Find a model that has three wheels with large rear wheels that are able to take the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be mounted ideally to give you better control on difficult terrain, and also to allow you to easily get around corners.
Double buggys that are good for two kids will give you to adjust the seats so that both children will be comfortable. The best models include reclining seats as well as adjustable footrests for older children. There's plenty of room to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
A simple fold mechanism is another feature to look out for. Our Lab experts recommend models with straps under the seats that pull the buggy apart, or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, taking just a second or two. Some models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-by-side that offers great flexibility for siblings or twins. The clever frame can be expanded in width to accommodate a carrycot or second seat, yet still has the same footprint as a single stroller. This means that it can be used through doors and on public transportation. It's heavier than other models however its smooth ride makes up for it.
iCandy’s Orange Convertible, another popular side-by-side, comes with 30 seating configurations that can be adapted to meet all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins since the seats can be parent-facing, and can convert to 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 expensive as other models, but its fixed front wheel and narrow turning radius make it more difficult to maneuver through kerbs. It's simple to push and can be used for running buggy by including a separate child carrier.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can accommodate 2 children in many ways from infant to toddler with their car seat adapters or twin kit and can even cope with 3 if you use their piggyback board (which you buy separately for about PS120). The dual front swivel wheels, superior manoeuvrability and convenient foot brakes make it extremely safe. Plus, its parent tray is bigger than most double buggies that are lightweight and the canopy has peekaboo windows for better visibility.
