10 Simple Steps To Start Your Own 3 Wheel Double Buggy Business
3 Wheel Double Buggy
A great option for parents who wish to take their kids off-road The Fox 5 is a true all-terrain stroller. It comes with a suspension that is impressive and has large wheels that are puncture proof.
Claire, our tester, was impressed with the packaging. It was easy to open and clean. She found it to be one of the most simple and quick pieces of baby equipment to set up. She took it for a spin around some rough terrain and was very pleased with its performance.
Seats
Most 3 wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs, although 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.

For a light-weight alternative that's ideal for city streets, take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo. It's a breeze to move and comes with a large basket that has plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins as young as birth and accommodate two car seats as well as a carrycot and seat. The seats are required to be oriented forward and there's no room for a shopping bag underneath, so you'll need a sidepack for that.
If you like to go off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a good option. It's a side-by- side model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy on the market. This allows it to squeeze through doors that are narrow and on public transport and also allows you to go up and down kerbs without much trouble. The adjustable handlebar has an integrated handbrake to increase safety and security.
Another option that is light weight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double that can be used to accommodate twins or a baby and toddler. The seats have 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 with the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board for older and mobile children.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are one of the most popular available. This is due to their exceptional comfort. It's an all-terrain model with a soft suspension that is able to handle bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate a massive 30 seating configurations and includes a built-in ride-on for older kids who prefer to walk, plus a 'cinema seating' mode that raises the back seat for better visibility.
Alternately, the phil&teds dots is a brilliant single buggy that is available from day one which is then able 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 equipped with a wedgie that allows for optimal position, and also car seat adapters to a wider range of brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children can push it. It is crucial to have a smooth ride, as babies can feel every bump in the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain like grass or roads that are not paved. Certain models come with locking front tires to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, however they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are designed to withstand bumps and can be less susceptible to punctures, but you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back should you decide to run.
The side-by-side buggy is the best buggy for city walks. It has a brilliant suspension system that lets you easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. You can also upgrade the duet with our dual kit to be able to carry two children all within the same footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath test-driven the Urban Glide 2 with her toddler and newborn and found it to be extremely capable on terrain that is difficult to navigate. "It glided effortlessly over bumpy sidewalks and grass cobbles, dirt, and tracks. It was also easy for me to navigate around corners and get up and 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 with 50+ UV hood, and game-changing lights that are easy to use and rechargeable.
Folding
A 3 wheel double buggy can fold very well to be stored. There are options that fold flat and then stand up (as if they're in a pushchair position) as well as those that pop open to reveal more of an umbrella-style fold, with a hand-operated brake. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially applicable if the wheels are larger than average. This will provide you with more stability and decrease the likelihood that your children will fall over or tip over.
The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used with an infant car seat from birth, and later converted to a double buggy when your child is old. It's a lightweight option that makes it simple to push and comes full of extra features including raincover and a bumper bar.
The phil&teds sports is an alternative option. It is future-proof since it's an excellent buggy and can be adapted to accommodate two (or three!) All of this fits into its compact footprint. It has an innovative 3-wheel design that includes a sling seat for greater maneuverability, stability and the ability to pop the kerb.
This is one of the most comfortable double buggies for jogging with your kids.
3 wheel pushchair features a front wheel that can be locked, that will allow you to keep your balance on rough terrain or off-road. It also has a spacious undercarriage basket, a movable handlebar and soft suspension for an enjoyable ride.
This is a light, compact option that is easy to fold with just one hand. It is perfect for traveling. 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 shopping. It's a bit on costly side, but has several notable features that make it a great option for value, such as its simple one-click fold, and numerous extras like a bumper bar and raincover.
Stores
One thing that people appreciate about a great 3 wheel double buggy is the storage capacity. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket as well as two zip pockets on the hood, where you can keep your phone and keys. It's also designed for dealing with slightly rough terrain so it's a great option for family walks and all-terrain strolls.
Other models such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 offer plenty of space and the flexibility to carry twins or a baby and a toddler (it uses their 'PiggyBack' boards to allow this to be done). It's the slimmest side-by-side double available and it comes with some amazing technology that includes game-changing LED visibility lights that change on each side of the frame to ensure safety in dim lighting conditions.
For something different and unique, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can accommodate twins from birth (it's facing the world and can be used in an upright position). Its clever frame expands to accommodate an extra seat, yet it weighs only 11kg. This makes it easy to lift and move. It can also accommodate the form of a car seat or a carrycot, so you have the best of both worlds and it will help your budget in the future since you don't have to buy a new buggy immediately.
