What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first modular double buggy in the world. It can be transformed from single to tandem mode in seconds and also accepts car seats. It also has a spacious basket and foam-filled never-flat tyres.
Our MFM testers praised its smart one-handed fold and its clever mechanism for attaching and removing newborn cocoons. However, they were disappointed that it wasn't as agile on rough terrain as models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A good quality double 3 wheeler pushchair should be comfortable for the baby and the parent. It should have a comfortable seat, and the hood should cover both of their heads. There are a variety of colours, fabrics, and accessories to match your personal style. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models feature different positions that recline. 3 wheeled pushchair are lighter which makes it easier to lift them into the boot and to move them up and down kerbs.
Find features that make the ride more comfortable, for example a soft suspension or a large basket. Some models come with an intelligent frame that can expand widthways to accommodate the second seat, so you can get them through narrow doorways and are easier to maneuver on rough terrain. Some models feature a standing fold that makes use of less space in storage. Some models have a bag for carrying the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is more spacious than a single buggy, yet still flexible enough to be used in theme parks or cities. Due to their evenly distributed weight they are also less difficult to maneuver around kerbs, compared to other twin-seaters. Many can be used for babies up to four years old. Some are able to attach carrycots or car seats to extend their lifespan.
Some models can even be converted to a trio of children by adding a buggy for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). It's important to remember that although the majority of manufacturers stipulate the maximum weight for each seat, or perhaps a total frame weight however, it's difficult to determine how much your children will grow until they reach toddler age.
The best method to determine if an oversized double pushchair is to test it out in person, so you can see how it's easy to maneuver with both children in the seat. Ask the shop if they can provide a demonstration or hire agreement to give you an understanding of a model.

Safety
A double pushchair 3 wheeler will give you a lot more stability than a standard four-wheeled pushchair, making it a safer choice when you often walk in the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small wheels are prone to getting clogged with sticks, grass, and mud, making them difficult to navigate. A double pushchair with three wheels has large back wheels that make up the majority of the space. It is less likely to get into anything.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another good model of a pushchair that is all-terrain. The tyres are filled with air and allow you to run with your child when they are old enough. It's important to remember that these types of pushchairs weigh a bit more than standard models and can be quite heavy to fold. Therefore, it's best to use them for long, strenuous walks across different terrains rather than for nipping around town.
