What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first double buggy that is modular It expands with your family, switching from single to tandem in just a few seconds and allowing car seats. It also has a generous basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM testers praised its smart one-handed fold and the clever mechanism for attaching and removing newborn cocoons. However, they found it was not as agile on rough terrain as models with bigger wheels.
Comfort
A quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both the baby and parent with a padded seat and hood that covers their heads. There are many colourways of fabrics, fabrics, and accessories to match your personal style. Certain models come with a lie flat mode for infants, and the majority of models have various positions that can recline. Some are lightweight too, making them easier to carry into the boot or to climb up and down kerbs.
When you are looking for a double-seater, look for additional features that make the ride more enjoyable with soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models feature a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat, meaning you can get them through narrow entrances and are more maneuverable in rough terrain. Some have a sleek, standing fold which takes up less space in storage between uses, and some models even include a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are generally wider than single buggys but some, such as the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter, yet still feel nippy enough to be used in urban areas or at theme parks. Due to their equally distributed weight they are also much easier to move up and down kerbs, compared to other twin-seaters. Many can be used from newborn to around four years old, and a few have the option of attaching car seats or carrycots to extend the life.
Some can even convert to a trio of kids by adding a buggy for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). It's important to note that although most manufacturers specify a maximum weight per seat, and possibly the frame's total weight but it's not possible to know how much your child will grow until they reach toddler age.
In the end, the best method of determining if the double pushchair will work for you is to try it in person, so that you can see how easy it is to manoeuvre with both children in the seat. Ask the shop if they are able to offer a demo or hire agreement to help you get a better feel for a model.

Safety
A double pushchair with 3 Wheel Buggy wheels can provide more stability than a model with four wheels which makes it safer if you walk regularly in the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small wheels are prone to getting clogged with grass, sticks and mud, making them difficult to steer. On the other the other hand a double pushchair that has three wheels will have big back wheels that occupy the bulk of the space, so you're less likely to trip over anything.
