Claire who was our test subject was impressed with the packaging. It was easy to open and clean. She found it to be one of the easiest and fastest pieces of baby equipment to assemble. She took it out to explore some tough terrain and was very pleased with its performance.
Seats
Most 3 wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs, but some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk but require assistance.
Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for a lightweight option perfect for urban streets. It's easy to maneuver and has a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and can accommodate two car seats or a carrycot with seat. The seats have to face forward and there is no space to store a shopping bag under the seat. You will need a sidepack.
Mountain Buggy Duet will be an ideal choice if you enjoy off-road driving. It's a side-by-side with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy available on the market. This allows it to fit through narrow doors and on public transport, and allows you to climb up and down kerbs without much trouble. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake for added safety and security.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that is suitable for twins or a toddler and baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50+ sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted so that the sun doesn't get into your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into triple by adding UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack’ board for older children.
The iCandy Orange is one of the most popular double buggies available because of its exceptional comfort. It's a true all-terrain pushchair with a soft suspension to make easy work of bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate up to 30 seating configurations, and comes with a built-in ride-on for older kids who prefer walking as well as a 'cinema' seating mode that raises the back seat for better visibility.
The phil&teds dot is a great single buggy that is available from day one that is able to easily be adapted to take 2 (or 3!) Multiple configurations are possible. This is especially useful if you have an infant in a car seat, since the frame can be fitted with a wedgie that allows for optimal lie-flat positioning, or car seat adapters to various brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel double stroller-wheel buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children are able to push it. A smooth ride is essential as babies can feel every bump in the road, especially when it's on rough terrain like grass or paths that aren't paved. Certain models come with locking front tires that aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, however they are susceptible to punctures. Be sure to keep a spare set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they could cause discomfort for your child if they decide to run.
The side-by-side is the most suitable buggy for city walks. It comes with a superb suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. You can even upgrade the duet using our dual kit to be able to accommodate two children - all in the same compact footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath tried the Urban Glide 2 with her three-year-old and newborn, and found it exceptionally adept on terrains that are difficult to traverse. "It navigated effortlessly across grass and bumpy sidewalks, cobbles, and dirt tracks and was easy for me to maneuver around corners and get up and down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, when combined with the lockable swivel wheels on the front, create an extremely comfortable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 has a number of features, such as an enormous seat unit that comes with a padded cover as well as a hood that has 50+ UV protection and easy-to-use and rechargeable lights.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy folds quite well for storage. There are models that fold flat and then stand up (as as if they're in a pushchair position) and also ones that pop out to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with an electric brake. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more able it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true when the wheels are larger than the average. This will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your children will fall over or tip over.
The iCandy Wave is a popular option. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car-seat as early as birth, and later converted into a double buggy side-byside when your child is old. It's a comfortable and light-feeling model which makes it easy to push, and it comes with extra features like a bumper bar and raincover.
The phil&teds sports is a different option. It is a future-proof model as it's an excellent buggy that can be altered to take two (or three!) All of this fits into its compact footprint. It has a clever 3-wheel design and an sling seat that provides greater maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
If you want to jog with your children, this is the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller double buggie for jogging because it has a lockable front wheel that can help you stay in control when you're tackling off-road or hilly tracks. It also has a spacious undercarriage basket, an adjustable handlebar, and a soft suspension to ensure a comfy ride.
It's a light, compact option that folds with one hand. It is perfect for travel. It's compatible with a wide range of infant car seats, and comes with an easy-to-pull-out undercarriage bag that can be used to store things to shop. It's not cheap, but it has some notable features, like its one-click folding and many extras, including a bumper bar or raincover.
Storage
One thing that a lot of people appreciate about a good 3 wheel double stroller-wheel double buggy is the storage capacity. Some models like the Roma Atlas offer a generously-sized basket, as well as two zip pockets on the hood that keep keys and your phone easily accessible. It's also designed to handle slightly rough terrain, making it a great choice for family walks or all-terrain walks.
Other models, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 offer plenty of space, and the ability to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby (it takes their 'PiggyBack' board allow this to be done). It's the smallest side-byside double available. It also comes with impressive features, such as LED lights for visibility that are placed on both sides of the frame to increase safety in low-light situations.
For something a little different, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can seat twins from birth (it's facing the world and can be used in a lie flat position). The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the extra seat, but it only weighs around 11kg so it's easy to lift and maneuver. It can also take the form of a car seat or a carrycot, allowing you to have the best of both worlds. it will help your budget in the future since you don't have to purchase a new buggy right away.
