Comfort
A high-quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for the baby and the parent. It should have a supportive seat and an hood that covers both their heads. You can also find an array of colours and fabrics, as well as accessories to suit your style. Most models feature recliners in multiple positions and some have the option of lying flat for newborns. Some are also light making them easy to lift into the boot, or up and down kerbs.
Look for features that will make the ride more comfortable, for example soft suspension or the large basket. Some models have an intelligent frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, which means they can be pushed through narrow doorways and are more maneuverable in rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold that reduces the space needed in storage. Others come with a handy bag for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a buggy that is side-by-side that is wider than a single buggy yet still flexible enough to be used in theme parks or cities. 3 wheeled pushchair to maneuver up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters due to their evenly distributed weight. Many can be used from birth to four years old, and some are able to be attached to carrycots or car seats to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some models can even be converted to a trio of kids by incorporating a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). It's important to remember that although the majority of manufacturers stipulate a maximum weight per seat and perhaps a frame weight total, it's impossible to know how much your children will grow until they reach toddler age.
The best method of determining if the double pushchair can work for you is to try it in person, so that you can be able to see how it's simple to maneuver with both children in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the store for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can get a feel for it in the real world.

Safety
A double pushchair that has three wheels will provide more stability than your average four-wheeled pushchair, which makes it a safer choice if you frequently walk through the countryside.

On the other hand a double pushchair that has three wheels will have big back wheels that take up most of the space, meaning you're unlikely to run over anything.
