What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The world's first modular double buggy It grows with your family, converting from single to tandem in seconds and accepting car seats. It also has a spacious basket and foam-filled tyres that never flatten.
Our MFM testers praised its smart one-handed fold as well as its clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. They found it not as agile as other models with bigger wheels when on rough terrain.
Comfort
3 wheel buggy needs to be comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. It should have a supportive seat and an hood that covers both of their heads. There is also a wide choice of colourways, fabrics and accessories to suit your style. Most models feature multiple position seats that recline and some even have a lie flat mode for babies. Some are lightweight too which makes them easier to lift into the boot or up and down kerbs.
Consider features that make your ride more comfortable, like a soft suspension or a large basket. Some models have frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate the second seating position. This lets them fit through narrow doorways and also make them easier to maneuver on rough terrain. Others have a neat, standing fold which takes up less space for storage between uses, and some even come with 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, yet still feel comfortable enough to be used in cities or at theme parks. They're also easier to get up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters due to their more evenly weight distribution. Many can be used from newborn to around four years, and some have the option of attaching car seats or carrycots to extend the lifespan of the seat.
A few can be transformed into an all-in-one set by adding buggyboards for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight for each seat, and possibly a total frame, it is difficult to determine exactly how your child will develop before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
Ultimately, a great way to decide how well an oversized double pushchair can work for you is to test it in person, so you can be able to see how it's easy to maneuver with both babies in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the store for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can get a feel for it in the real world.

Safety
A double pushchair that has 3 wheels will provide you with more stability than a model with four wheels, making it safer if you walk regularly in the countryside. The typical pushchair has small wheels that can get clogged with grass, sticks, and mud. This makes them difficult to steer. A double pushchair with 3 wheels has large rear wheels which make up the majority of the space. It is less likely to come across anything.
