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 just a few seconds and also accepting car seats. It has a generous basket, and tyres with foam that never go flat.
Our MFM testers were impressed by its clever one-handed fold as well as its clever mechanism for attaching and removing newborn cocoons. They found it not as quick as other models with larger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair 3 wheeler should be comfortable for both the baby and parent with a comfortable seat and a hood that covers their heads. There are many colourways and fabrics as well as accessories that can be adapted to your personal style. Certain models come with a lie flat mode for newborns and most models come with different positions that can recline. Some models are lighter, making it easier to move them into the car and to move them up and down kerbs.
Find features that make your ride more comfortable, like a soft suspension or a large basket. Some models come with a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat, meaning you can fit them through narrow entrances and are more manoeuvrable on rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold which takes up less space in storage. Others have a bag for carrying 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 urban areas or in theme parks. They are also typically easier to get up and down kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their more evenly distributed weight. Many can be used from birth to four years old, and some are able to be attached to carrycots or car seats to extend the life.
Some even allow for a trio of children by adding a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). It's important to remember that although most manufacturers will specify a maximum weight per seat and perhaps a total frame weight however, it's difficult to determine how much your child will grow until they reach toddler age.

Safety

On the other hand a double pushchair with three wheels has large back wheels that occupy the bulk of the space, so you're less likely to trip over anything.
