What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first modular double buggy in the world. It can be converted from single to tandem mode in seconds and can be used with car seats. It has a generous basket, as well as tyres that are filled with foam that will never flat.
Our MFM test participants were impressed by its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. They thought it was not as agile as other models with bigger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A good quality double 3 wheel reversible stroller wheeler pushchair must be comfortable for both the child as well as the parent. It must have a comfortable seat, and the hood should cover both of their heads. You will also have an array of colours and fabrics, as well as accessories to fit your preferences. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models come with different positions that can recline. Some are lightweight too making them easy to lift into the boot or up and down kerbs.
Look for features that will make your ride more comfortable, such as an easy suspension or the large basket. Some models have an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat, which means you can fit them through narrow doorways and are more maneuverable on tough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold which reduces the space needed in storage. Others come with a convenient bag to transport the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-byside buggy that is more spacious than a single buggy but still feels flexible enough to be used in theme parks and cities. They're also generally easier to get to and from kerbs, unlike other twin-seaters due to their evenly distributed weight. Many can be used from newborn to around four years old, and a few can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to prolong the life of the product.
The majority of them can be made into a three-child set by incorporating buggyboards for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight limit for each seat, and possibly for a whole frame, it's impossible to know exactly how much your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
In the end, the best way to decide how well an oversized double pushchair will work for you is to test it out in person, so that you can see how easy it is to manoeuvre with both babies in the seat. If you're considering a particular model, ask the retailer for a demo or a hire agreement to test it in the real world.

Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels will give you a lot more stability than a standard four-wheeled model, making it a safer option if you frequently walk through the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small 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 occupy the bulk of the space, so you're unlikely to run over anything.
