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 seconds and accepting car seats. It comes with a spacious basket, and tyres with foam that will never flat.
Our MFM testers were impressed with its quick and easy folding with one hand and the clever mechanism to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. However, they were disappointed that it was not as agile on rough terrain as models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both baby and parent with a padded seat and hood that covers their heads. You can also find an array of colours, fabrics and accessories to fit your preferences. Some models have a lie-flat mode for newborns and most models feature multiple positions that recline. Some models are lighter and can be used to carry them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
Look for features that will make the ride more comfortable, like soft suspension or an enormous basket. Some models have frames that expand in width to accommodate a second seating position. This allows them to fit through narrow doorways and also make them easier to maneuver on uneven terrain. Some models feature a standing fold that takes up less space in storage. Some models come with a handy bag for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is more spacious than a single buggy, but still feels agile enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. Because they are evenly distributed weight, they are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters. Many are suitable from newborn to around four years old, and a few have the option of attaching carrycots or car seats to extend the life.
Some models can even be converted to a trio of kids by adding a buggy board 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 determine exactly how much your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
You can determine if a double 3 wheeler pushchair is the right one for you by testing it out. This will let you observe how easy it is to use with two babies in. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the retailer for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can experience it in real life.

The Out n' About Nipper V5 is a favorite among MFM testers due to its sleek design and high-end fabric. 3 wheel pushchair can be used as either a single or double-seat, up to 15kg in weight. Its lockable front swivel and foam-filled tyres that never flat are perfect for off-road walking or even jogging when your child is old enough.
This is the best choice if you want an all-terrain vehicle capable of handling rough terrain such as cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks. Its massive 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel frontwheel are particularly impressive as is its superb suspension that allows for a smooth ride.
Safety
A double pushchair 3 wheeler will provide you with more stability than a typical four-wheeled model, making it a safer choice if you frequently walk through the countryside. The typical pushchair has small wheels that are prone to becoming blocked by sticks, grass, and mud. This makes them difficult to steer. A double pushchair with three wheels has large back wheels that cover the majority of the space. You are less likely to come across anything.
All-terrain strollers like the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas that have bumpy and rough terrain. This model has large, puncture resistant all-terrain tires and a strong suspension that makes it easy to navigate any surface without any issues. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also able to handle any terrain and is suitable for twins, a baby or toddlers with a 'PiggyBack Board' (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another great all-terrain stroller. The air-filled tyres allow you to jog with your child once they are old enough. These pushchairs can be larger and heavier to fold than standard pushchairs. They are best suited for long walks on different terrains.
