What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first modular double buggy It expands with your family, changing from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and accepting 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 and the clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. However, they were disappointed that it wasn't as agile on rough terrain as models with bigger wheels.
Comfort
A quality double 3 wheeler pushchair should be comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. It should have a supportive seat, as well as an hood that covers both of their heads. You will also have many different colours, fabrics and accessories to fit your preferences. The majority of models have multiple position seats that recline and some even have an option to lie flat for newborns. Some models are lighter and can be used to move them into the car as well as up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater look out for extra features that make the ride more enjoyable, such as soft suspension and a large basket. Certain models come with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seating position. This makes them able to pass through narrow doors, and they are easier to maneuver on rough terrain. Some models have a clever, standing fold that requires less space for storage between uses, and some have an rucksack that can be used for transporting the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be larger than single buggies, but some, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter, yet still feel comfortable enough to be used in cities or at theme parks. They're also generally easier to maneuver to and from kerbs, unlike some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly distributed weight. They can be used from birth to four years old, and a few can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to prolong the life of the product.
Some models can even be converted to three kids by adding a buggy board for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight limit for each seat, and possibly the entire frame, it is impossible to know precisely 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 trying it out. This will allow you to see how easy it is to get both babies inside. If you're considering a particular model, ask the store for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can experience it in the real world.

The Out n About Nipper V5 is a model that's worth a look and so is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 and the Out n About Nipper V5.

This is the best choice for those who want an all-terrain vehicle that can handle rough terrain like cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks. Its large 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels are impressive, as is its great suspension to ensure smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair that has three wheels will provide you with more stability than a typical four-wheeled model, making it a safer choice if you frequently walk through the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small wheels are prone to getting clogged with sticks, grass, and mud, which makes them difficult to navigate. On the other side a double pushchair that has three wheels has large back wheels that take up most of the space, which means you're less likely to trip over anything.
All-terrain pushchairs, such as the Roma Gemini, are a ideal choice for anyone living in an area with a lot of bumpy and rough terrain. This model comes with large, puncture-proof all-terrain tyres and a sturdy suspension which allows for easy maneuvering on all types of surfaces without any issues. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also capable of handling 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. It's ideal for jogging when your child is old enough, thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and suspension. But, it's important to keep in mind that these types of pushchairs are a little heavier than standard ones and can be a bit heavy to fold. It's ideal to use them for long, strenuous walks across different terrains rather than for nipping around the city.
