What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first modular double buggy, it grows with your family, switching from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and also accepting car seats. It also comes with a large basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM testers were impressed with its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism to attach and remove cocoons that are still in the infant stage. However, they were disappointed that it was not as agile when it came to rough terrain, as some models with bigger wheels.
Comfort
A quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both the baby and parent with a comfortable seat and a hood that covers their heads. You can also find a wide choice of colourways and accessories that fit your preferences. Certain models come with a lie flat mode for newborns and most models have different positions that can recline. Some models are lighter and can be used to carry them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater look out for extra features that make the ride more enjoyable with soft suspension and an oversized basket. Some models come with an intelligent frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, which means you can get them through narrow entrances and are more maneuverable in rough terrain. Others have a neat standing fold which takes up less space in storage between uses, and some even have a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be larger than single buggies, but certain models, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter, yet still feel nippy enough to be used in cities or at theme parks. They are also typically more easy to move to and from kerbs, unlike other twin-seaters due to their evenly distributed weight. Many can be used from the age of newborn to about four years, and some are able to be attached to car seats or carrycots to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some even allow for a trio of kids by incorporating a buggy board for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). It's important to note that although most manufacturers specify a maximum weight per seat, and possibly the frame's total weight but it's not possible to know how much your children will increase in weight until they reach toddler age.
In the end, the best way to decide how well a double pushchair 3 wheeler is to test it out in person, so you can see how it's easy to maneuver with both babies in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the retailer for a demo or a hire agreement to get a feel for it in the real world.
Stability

This side-by-side buggies has independent recline seats as well as front and rear suspensions for the most comfortable ride on bumpy surfaces.

Another top choice is the iCandy Geo 3, a compact and sleek city buggy. Its large pneumatic wheels (air-filled) are perfect for bumpier terrain and its front wheel can rotate 360 degrees or be locked so you can steer through tight spaces. It can be used to carry twins as well as a toddler and baby (depending on the combination of seats/carrycots is used) or be used as a one-person unit by attaching a baby carriage to its clever frame.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a versatile option that can accommodate twins or a baby, toddler and even three children with the addition of a board.

Other models worth checking out include the Out n About Nipper V5 and the UPPAbaby Vista 2. The former is a favourite among MFM testers for its sleek style and high-quality fabrics. It can be used as a single or a double from birth up to a maximum of 15kg for each child. Its lockable front wheel swivels and foam-filled never flat tyres are ideal for off-road walking or even jogging once your child is old enough.
This is the best option to get an all-terrain vehicle capable of handling rough terrain such as grass, cobbles, and dirt tracks. The large rear wheels of 16 inches and lockable swivel frontwheel are especially impressive, as is its great suspension that allows for smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels will give you more stability than a model with four wheels and is more secure if you regularly walk in the countryside. Standard pushchairs with tiny wheels can become clogged with grass, sticks and mud which makes them difficult to steer. A double pushchair with three wheels has large rear wheels which cover the majority of the space. It is less likely to come across anything.
All-terrain pushchairs, such as the Roma Gemini, are a ideal choice for those who live in an area with lots of rough and bumpy terrain. This model comes with large, puncture-proof tyres for all-terrain use and a robust suspension that makes it easy to navigate any surface without any problems. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also able to handle any terrain and can be used by twins, a baby or toddlers using a 'PiggyBack board' (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another excellent model of a pushchair that is all-terrain. It's ideal for jogging after your child has reached the age of enough thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and suspension. However, it's worth remembering that these types of pushchairs are a little heavier than standard ones and can be a bit heavy to fold. It's best to take them on long walks across different terrains instead of for a stroll around the town.
