What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first modular double buggy It grows with your family, switching from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and allowing car seats. It has a generous basket, and tyres with foam that never go flat.
Our MFM testers were impressed with its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism for attaching and remove the newborn cocoons. They thought it was not as quick as other models equipped with larger wheels on rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both the baby and parent, with a supportive 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. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models have different positions that can recline. Some models are lighter and can be used to lift them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
When looking for a model with two seats, look out for extra features that make the journey more comfortable with soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models have frames that expand in width to accommodate the second seating position. This lets them pass through narrow doors, and they are more maneuverable in rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold which takes up less space in storage. Some models come with a convenient bag for carrying the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are typically wider than single buggys but certain models, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter but still have enough nippy feel to be used in cities or in theme parks. Due to their equally weight distribution, they are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. Many are suitable from birth to four years old, and some can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to extend the life.
Some can even convert to three kids by adding a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight for each seat and possibly for a whole frame, it is impossible to know precisely how your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.

Safety

Regular pushchairs with small wheels can get clogged up with grass, sticks and mud, which makes them difficult to navigate. On the other side, a double pushchair with three wheels will have large back wheels that take up the majority of the space, so you're not likely to hit anything.
