What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler

The first modular double buggy, it grows with your family, changing from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and allowing car seats. It also has a spacious basket and foam-filled tyres that never flatten.

Our MFM testers were impressed by its clever one-handed fold and the clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. However, they felt it was not as responsive on rough terrain as other models with larger wheels.

Comfort

A good quality double 3 wheeler pushchair should be comfortable for both the child and parent. It should have a comfortable seat, and a hood that covers both their heads. There are many colourways and fabrics as well as accessories that can be adapted to your personal style. Some models have a lie-flat mode for newborns and most models feature various positions that recline. Some are lightweight too, making them easier to carry into the boot, or up and down kerbs.

When you are looking for a double-seater, look out for extra features that make the ride more pleasant, such as soft suspension and an oversized basket. Some models feature an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, which means you can fit them through narrow doors and are more maneuverable on tough terrain. Others have a neat, standing fold that takes up less room for storage between uses, and some even have an rucksack that can be used for transporting the buggy.

The Roma Gemini is a good example of a buggy that is side-by-side that is larger than a single buggy but still feels agile enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. They are also typically easier to maneuver to and from kerbs, unlike other twin-seaters due to their evenly distributed weight. They can be used by babies up to four years of age. Some have the option to connect carrycots or child car seats to extend their life.

Some models can even be converted to a trio of children by incorporating a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). It's important to remember that although most manufacturers specify the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps a frame weight total, it's impossible to know how much your child will increase in weight until they reach toddlerhood.

The best 3 wheel pushchair method of determining if an oversized double pushchair will work for you is to test it in person, so that you can see how easy it is to manoeuvre with both children in the seat. Ask the store if they're able to offer a demo or hire agreement to give you an understanding of a model.

Stability

Another option is the iCandy Geo 3, a compact and sleek city buggy.

It can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler (depending on which combination of seats or carrycots is being used) or be used as a single by connecting a baby carrier to its clever frame.

Safety

A double pushchair with 3 wheeler buggies wheels will give you more stability than a model with four wheels which makes it safer for those who walk frequently in the countryside. Most pushchairs have tiny wheels that are prone to becoming blocked by sticks, grass and mud. This makes them difficult to steer. A double pushchair with 3 wheels has big back wheels that cover the majority of the space. It is less likely to run into anything.

All-terrain strollers such as the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas that have rough and bumpy terrain.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another good example of an all-terrain pushchair. It's also suitable for jogging after your child has reached the age of enough thanks to its air-filled tyres and suspension. But, it's important to keep in mind that these pushchairs weigh more than standard ones and can be a bit heavy to fold, so it's ideal to take them on long walks across different terrains rather than for nipping around town.
