Seats

The majority of 3 wheel double buggies start as single pushchairs. Some models can be modified to accept the second seat using adapters. Some models allow you to add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk, but still need some help.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight option that is perfect for urban streets. It's a breeze to move and comes with a large 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 towards the front and there is no room to store an item under the seat. You will need an additional side bag.

If you're looking to go off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great option. It's a side by side with the smallest footprint of any double buggy available on the market.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is essential to how it will be easy for you and your baby to push. It is crucial to have a smooth ride, because babies can feel every bump on the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved roads. Certain models also have front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Certain models have air-filled tyres that provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures, therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, however they may be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to jog.

Our award-winning side-byside duet buggy comes with a superb suspension that can get you over any terrain easily and comfortably which makes it the ideal buggy for city strolls. You can even upgrade the duet with our dual kit in order to carry two children all in the same compact footprint!

"It was able to effortlessly navigate bumpy sidewalks and grass, cobbles, and dirt tracks. It was also very easy to maneuver around corners and climb up or down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, when combined with the lockable swivel wheel on the front, make it a very safe jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features, including a spacious basket with a zip-top cover, large padded seat unit, 50+ UV hood and game changing visibility lights that are easy to use and rechargeable.

Folding

A 3 wheel stroller set-wheel double buggy can fold very neatly to be stored. There are models that fold flat, stand up (as as if they were the form of a pushchair) and others that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding, with a hand-operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more comfortable it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is particularly relevant when the wheels are bigger than the average. This will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your child will fall over or tip over.
