What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first double buggy that is modular in the world. It can be converted from single to tandem mode in a matter of seconds and can be used with car seats. It also comes with a large basket and foam-filled never-flat tyres.
Our MFM test participants were impressed by its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism used to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. They thought it was not as agile as models with bigger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A good quality double pushchair 3 wheeler must be comfortable for both baby and parents with a comfortable seat and a hood that covers their heads. You can also find an array of colours and accessories that fit your preferences. The majority of models have recliners in multiple positions and some feature a lie flat mode for newborns. Some models are lighter, making it easier to lift them into the boot as well as up and down kerbs.
When looking for a model with two seats, look out for extra features that make the ride more enjoyable with soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Certain models come with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seating position. This makes them able to pass through narrow doors and are also more maneuverable on uneven terrain. Some models feature a standing fold which reduces the space needed in storage. Others have a bag for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is larger than a single buggy but is still capable enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. Due to their equally weight distribution they are also less difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters. Many can be used from the age of newborn to about four years old, and a few can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to prolong the life of the product.
Some even allow for a trio of kids by adding a buggy for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While most manufacturers specify the maximum weight for each seat, and possibly a total frame, it's impossible to know exactly how much your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
The best method of determining if an oversized double pushchair can work for you is to test it in person, so you can be able to 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 demonstration or hire agreement so you can test it in the real world.

Safety
A double pushchair with 3 wheels will give you more stability than a model with four wheels which makes it safer if you walk regularly in the countryside. Most pushchairs have tiny wheels that can become filled with sticks, grass and mud. This makes them difficult to navigate. On the other the other hand a double pushchair with three wheels will have big back wheels that occupy the bulk of the space, which means you're not likely to hit anything.
All-terrain pushchairs like the Roma Gemini, are a great option for anyone who lives in an area with lots of rough and bumpy terrain.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another great all-terrain stroller. It's also suitable for jogging after your child has reached the age of enough due to its air-filled tyres as well as suspension. But, it's important to keep in mind that these types of pushchairs weigh a bit more than standard models and may be quite heavy to fold. It's best to use them for long, strenuous walks over different kinds of terrain instead of for a stroll around the city.
