What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The world's first double buggy that is modular, it grows with your family, switching from single to tandem in just a few seconds and accepting car seats. It comes with a large basket, as well as tyres that are filled with foam that will never flat.
Our MFM testers were impressed by its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. However, they found it wasn't as agile when it came to rough terrain, as some models with bigger wheels.
Comfort
A high-quality double 3 wheeler pushchair must be comfortable for both the child and the parent. It should have a supportive seat and a hood that covers both of their heads. There are a variety of colours, fabrics, and accessories to match your personal style. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models come with various positions that can recline. Some are also light making them easy to carry into the boot, or up and down kerbs.
Consider features that make your ride more comfortable, such as an easy suspension or an enormous basket. Some models come with an intelligent frame that can expand widthways to accommodate a second seat, so you can get them through narrow doorways and are more maneuverable on rough terrain. Others have a neat standing fold that requires less space for storage between uses, and some models even come with a handy rucksack for transporting the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be wider than single buggys but some, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter, yet still feel comfortable enough to be used in urban areas or at theme parks. Due to their equally distributed weight, they are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. They can be used from newborn to around four years old, and a few can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some can be converted to a three-child set by incorporating an extra buggyboard for older mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight limit for each seat and perhaps for a whole frame, it is difficult to know exactly how your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
The best method to determine if the double pushchair can work for you is to test it in person, so that 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
