3 Wheel Double Buggy
The Fox 5 is an all-terrain stroller that is ideal for parents who want to explore off-road. It has a suspension that is impressive and has large, puncture proof wheels.
Our tester Claire was impressed by the clean, easy-to-open packaging and found it one of the quickest and most simple pieces of baby gear to put together. She tried it on some rough terrain and was impressed with its performance.
Seats
Most 3 wheel all terrain buggy wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs, although some can convert to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an extra board for older children who are ready to walk, but still need some help.
Check out the Joie Evalite Duo for a lightweight option 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 to accommodate twins from birth and accommodate two car seats or seats and a carrycot. The seats must be facing forward and there is no room to store a shopping bag under the seat. You will require a sidepack.
If you're looking to travel off-road then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great option. It's a side-by-side with the smallest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It is easier to get through narrow doors on public transport, and to climb over and up kerbs. The adjustable handlebar has an integrated handbrake to increase safety and security.
Another option that is light weight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which 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 with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board for mobile older children.
The iCandy Orange is one of the most well-known double buggies on the market, thanks to its superb comfort. It's an all-terrain model with a soft suspension that is able to handle bumpy surfaces. It offers 30 different seating options and a built-in board for older children who prefer walking, and a "cinema mode' that raises the back seats to provide better visibility.
The phil&teds dots are brilliant single buggys that can be easily adapted to accommodate two (or three!) different configurations. This is especially useful when you have a child in a car seat because the frame can be equipped with a wedgie to allow for optimal lie-flat positioning, or car seat adapters for many brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children are able to push it. A smooth ride is vital since babies can feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain such as grass or dirt roads. Some models come with locking front tires to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled which are ideal for all-terrain riding, however they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Other models use gel or foam tyres that are specifically designed to handle bumps and can be less susceptible to punctures, however, you may find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you decide to run.
