What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first double buggy that is modular that grows with your family, converting from single to tandem in just a few seconds and allowing car seats. It also comes with a large basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM test participants praised its clever one-handed fold as well as its clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. However, they were disappointed that it wasn’t as agile on rough terrain as other models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A high-quality double 3 wheeler pushchair must be comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. It should have a supportive seat and the hood should cover both of their heads. You can also find many different colours and fabrics, as well as accessories to fit your preferences. Certain models come with a lie flat mode for newborns and most models have various positions that can recline. Some models are lighter which makes it easier to move them into the car and up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater be sure to look for extra features that make the journey more comfortable like soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models have frames that expand in size to accommodate the second seating position. This allows them to pass through narrow doors, and they are more maneuverable on rough terrain. Some models have a clever standing fold that takes up less room in storage between uses, and some models even include a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is wider than a single buggy but is still capable enough to be used in theme parks and cities. They are also typically easier to get up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters due to their evenly weight distribution. Many can be used from birth to four years, and some have the option of attaching car seats or carrycots to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some models can even be converted to a trio of children by adding a buggy for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps the entire frame, it is difficult to determine exactly how much your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
The best method to determine if an oversized double pushchair is to try it in person, so you can be able to see how it’s easy to maneuver with both children in the seat. Ask the shop if they are able to provide a demonstration or hire agreement to help you get an idea of the model.

Safety
