3 Wheel Double Buggy

A great option for parents who want to go off-road, the Fox 5 is a true all-terrain pram. Its suspension is impressive, as well as large wheels that are puncture-proof.

Claire, our tester, was impressed by the packaging. It was simple to open and clean. She found it to be among the simplest and most efficient pieces of baby equipment to put together. She took it out for a spin around some tough terrain and was very pleased with its performance.

Seats

Most 3 wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs, although some can be converted to take the seat of a second person or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models let you add a ride-on board to older children who would like to walk but require some help.

Check out the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight 3 wheel pushchair option that is perfect for urban streets. It's a breeze to move and comes with a large basket that has plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins from at birth and will accept two car seats, or a carrycot with seat. However, the seats need to be oriented forward and there's no room for a shopping bag underneath which is why you'll need a sidepack to do this.

If you're looking to go off-road then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great choice. It's a side-by- tandem with the most compact footprint of any double buggy on the market. It's easier to maneuver through narrow doors on public transport, and to climb over and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake that is attached to the handlebar that can be adjusted for more security and safety.

Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double it can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby. The seats feature multi-position reclining and UPF 50+ sunshades, and the canopy can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can even be transformed into a triple by the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board for mobile older children.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are one of the most popular on the market. This is due to their superb comfort. It's an all-terrain model with a soft suspension, which is able to handle bumpy surfaces. It offers 30 different seating configurations as well as a built-in table for older children who like to walk, and a 'cinema mode that raises the back seats for better visibility.

The phil&teds dots are great single buggys that can be easily modified to take two (or three!) different configurations. This is especially useful when you have a child in a car. The frame can be fitted to a wedgie that allows for optimal lie-flat positioning. Or car seat adapters that work with many brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheel double buggy is essential to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump that comes along the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models also have locking front wheels to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Some models have air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they are prone to punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they might be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to run.

Our award-winning side-by-side duet buggy has a brilliant suspension that will get you over any terrain with ease and comfort, making it the perfect buggy for city strolls. You can also upgrade the duet using our dual kit, allowing you to accommodate two children - all within the same compact footprint!

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 with her three-year-old and newborn, and found it very capable on difficult terrain. "It navigated effortlessly across grass and bumpy sidewalks cobbles, dirt tracks. It was also very easy for me to maneuver around corners and climb up and down kerbs." It's also very comfortable to jog, with the 16" rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels and lockable swivel front wheels giving you a stable jogging experience." The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as well, including a spacious basket with zip-top cover, large cushioned seat, 50+ UV hood and game changing visibility lights that are simple to use and recharge.

Folding

A three-wheel double buggy can fold very well for storage. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as though they were in the shape of a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding with the option of a hand-operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has, the easier it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is particularly relevant if the wheels are larger than average. This will provide you with more stability and make it less likely that your child will tip or flip over.

A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat. It then converts to a side-by-side double buggy once your child is old enough for them to be seated next to each one. It's a light-feeling option, which makes it easy to push, and it comes with extra features, including a bumper bar and raincover.

Another alternative is the phil&teds sports, which is future proof because it's a fantastic single buggy from day one and can be adapted to accommodate 2 (or even three!) All of this is contained in its compact footprint. It features a clever 3-wheel design with an sling seat that provides better maneuverability, stability, and the ability to pop the kerb.

If you're looking to jog with your kids this is the ideal double buggies for jogging as it comes with a lockable swivel front wheel that can help you stay in control when tackling hilly or off-road tracks. It has a large undercarriage, a movable handlebar, and a soft suspension for a comfortable ride.

It's a lightweight and compact option that folds by one hand, making it perfect for traveling. It's compatible with a variety of infant car seats and has a handy undercarriage basket to store items. It's on the expensive side, but it does have a few standout features that make it an excellent value choice, including its slick one-click fold and a host of other features including a bumper bar and raincover.

Storage

One thing that people appreciate about a good 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel double buggy is its storage capabilities. Certain models, like the Roma Atlas offer a generously-sized basket, as well as two zip pockets inside the hood to keep keys and your phone easily accessible. It's also designed for dealing with a bit of rough terrain, so it's a great option for family walks or all-terrain strolls.

Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and the possibility of transporting twins or two toddlers and a child. (This is made possible by their 'PiggyBack board'). It's the smallest side-by-side double available and it has some impressive tech including game-changing LED visibility lights on each side of the frame to improve safety in low light conditions.

For something different and unique, the Joie Evalite Duo is a light buggy that can hold twins from birth (it's open to the world and features a lie flat position). The clever frame can expand to allow for an additional seat, yet it weighs only 11kg. This makes it easy to lift and maneuver. It can be used with a car seat, carrycot or both. This allows you to have the best of both worlds.
