What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The world's first double buggy that is modular, it expands with your family, changing from single to tandem in just a few seconds and also accepting car seats. It comes with a spacious basket, as well as tyres that are filled with foam that will never flat.
Our MFM testers were impressed by its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism to attach and remove cocoons that are still in the infant stage. However, they found it wasn't as agile on rough terrain as other models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair 3 wheeler must be comfortable for both baby and parent, with a supportive seat and hood that covers their heads. You can also find a wide choice of colourways and fabrics, as well as accessories to match your personal style. Certain models come with a lie flat mode for infants, and the majority of models come with various positions that recline. Some models are also lightweight, making them easier to carry into the boot or up and down kerbs.
When you are looking for a double-seater, look out for extra features that make your ride more enjoyable with soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models feature an intelligent frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, so you can get them through narrow doors and are more maneuverable in rough terrain. Others have a neat standing fold that requires less space in storage between uses and some include a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are typically bigger than single buggies, however some, such as the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter but still feel comfortable enough for use in cities or at theme parks. They're also generally easier to get up and down kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly distributed weight. They can be used from the age of newborn to about four years old, and a few can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some can be converted to a three-child set by incorporating an extra buggyboard for older mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps the entire frame, it's impossible to know precisely how your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
You can decide if a double 3 wheeler pushchair is the right one for you by testing it out. This will allow you to discover how easy it is to use with two children inside. If you're considering a particular model, ask the shop for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can get a feel for it in real life.

The large rear wheels of 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels are particularly impressive, as is its great suspension to ensure a smooth ride.
Safety
A double pushchair that has 3 wheels can provide more stability than a four-wheeled model which makes it safer for those who walk frequently in the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small wheels can become clogged with sticks, grass and mud which makes them difficult to steer. On the other side a double pushchair that has three wheels will have big back wheels that take up most of the space, which means you're unlikely to run over anything.
All-terrain strollers such as the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas that have bumpy and uneven terrain. This model has large, puncture resistant all-terrain tires and a sturdy suspension that makes it easy to maneuver over any surface without any issues. Similarly, the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can handle all kinds of terrains and is suitable for twins, or a baby and toddler with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another good example of an all-terrain pushchair. It's also suitable for jogging once your child is old enough thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and suspension. But, it's important to keep in mind that these types of pushchairs weigh more than standard models and can be a bit heavy to fold. It's recommended to use them for long, strenuous walks over different kinds of terrain rather than for nipping around the town.
