What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The world's first modular double buggy, it grows with your family, switching from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and allowing car seats. It also has a generous basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM testers praised its smart one-handed fold and its clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. They thought it was not as agile as models with larger wheels on rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair 3 wheeler should be comfortable for both baby and parent, with a supportive seat and a hood that covers their heads. There are a variety of colours, fabrics, and accessories available to suit your personal style. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for babies and most models come with multiple positions that can recline. Some models are lightweight and can be used to lift them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
Consider features that make your ride more comfortable, like an easy suspension or a large basket. Some models have a frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seating position. This makes them able to pass through narrow doors, and they are easier to maneuver on uneven terrain. Some have a sleek, standing fold that requires less space in storage between uses and some models even come with a handy rucksack for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-byside buggy that is wider than a single buggy but still feels agile enough to be used in theme parks or cities. Because they are evenly weight distribution, they are also easier to maneuver around kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. They can be used from newborn to around four years, and some can be fitted with carrycots or car seats to extend the life.
Some models can even be converted to a trio of kids by adding a buggy for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight limit for each seat and possibly for a whole frame, it is impossible to know exactly how much your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
In the end, the best way to decide how well an oversized double pushchair is to try it in person, so you can observe how it's easy to maneuver with both babies in the seat. Ask the store if they're able to offer a demo or hire agreement to help you get an understanding of a model.
