What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first modular double buggy that grows with your family, switching from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and also accepting car seats. It also comes with a large basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM test participants were impressed by its quick and easy folding with one hand and the clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. However, they found it was not as agile on rough terrain as models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A high-quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for both the child and the parent. It should have a comfortable seat, as well as an hood that covers both of their heads. There are a variety of colors, fabrics, and accessories that can be adapted to your personal style. The majority of models have multiple position seats that recline and some even have a lie flat mode for newborns. Some models are lighter, making it easier to move them into the car and up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater look for additional features that make the ride more pleasant, such as soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models feature a clever frame that can expand widthways to accommodate a second seat, which means you can get them through narrow entrances and are more maneuverable in rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold which takes up less space in storage. Some models have a bag to transport the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is larger than a single buggy, but still feels capable enough to be used in theme parks and cities. They're also more easy to move to and from kerbs, unlike some other twin-seaters, thanks to their more evenly distributed weight. Many are suitable from birth to four years old, and some are able to be attached to car seats or carrycots to extend the life.
Some even allow for a trio of kids by adding a buggy for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight limit for each seat and possibly a total frame, it is impossible to know exactly how your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
In the end, the best way to decide how well the double pushchair is to test it out in person, so that you can see how easy it is to manoeuvre with two children in the seat. If you're considering a particular model, ask the store to show you a demonstration or a hire agreement to experience it in the real world.

Safety
A double pushchair with 3 wheels will provide you with more stability than a model with four wheels which makes it safer if you walk regularly in the countryside. Regular pushchairs have small wheels that can become blocked by sticks, grass and mud. This makes them difficult to navigate. On the other hand a double pushchair that has three wheels will have big back wheels that occupy the bulk of the space, which means you're less likely to trip over anything.

However, it's worth remembering that these pushchairs weigh more than standard models and can be a bit heavy to fold. It's recommended to use them for long walks on different types of terrain rather than for nipping around the city.
