What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first modular double buggy, it expands with your family, changing from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and allowing car seats. It comes with a large basket, and tyres with foam that never wear out.
Our MFM testers praised its smart one-handed fold and its clever mechanism for attaching and removing newborn cocoons. They felt that it was not as agile as models with larger wheels when on rough terrain.
Comfort
A good quality double pushchair 3 wheeler must be comfortable for both the baby and parent, with a supportive seat and hood that covers their heads. There is also an array of colours, fabrics and accessories to fit your preferences. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models come with various positions that can recline. Some models are lighter which makes it easier to carry them into the boot and to move them up and down kerbs.
When you are looking for a double-seater, look out for extra features that make the ride more enjoyable like soft suspension and a large basket. Some models come with an intelligent frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, so you can get them through narrow doors and are more maneuverable on tough terrain. Some have a sleek, standing fold that takes up less room for storage between uses, and some even have a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are generally larger than single buggies, but some, such as the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter but still have enough nippy feel for use in cities or in theme parks. Due to their evenly distributed weight, they are also easier to move up and down kerbs, compared to other twin-seaters. Many can be used for babies as young as four years old. of age. Some have the option to attach carrycots or car seats to prolong their life.
Some even allow for three kids by incorporating a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight limit for each seat and perhaps for a whole frame, it is impossible to determine exactly how your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
The best way to decide how well the double pushchair is to test it out in person, so that you can be able to see how easy it is to manoeuvre with two children in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the shop to show you a demonstration or a hire agreement so you can get a feel for it in person.

Safety
A double pushchair that has 3 wheels will give you more stability than a model with four wheels, making it more secure if you regularly walk in the countryside. Standard pushchairs with tiny wheels can become clogged with grass, sticks and mud which makes them difficult to steer. On the other the other hand, a double pushchair with three wheels will have large back wheels that take up most of the space, so you're not likely to hit anything.
