What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first biggy that can be made modular in the world. It can be changed from single to tandem mode in a matter of seconds and also accepts car seats. It comes with a large basket, and tyres with foam that never wear out.
Our MFM testers were impressed with its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. They found it not as quick as other models equipped with larger wheels when on rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair 3 wheeler must be comfortable for both baby and parent with a comfortable seat and hood that protects their heads. There is also many different colours, fabrics and accessories to match your personal style. Most models feature recliners in multiple positions and some feature the option of lying flat for infants. Some models are also lightweight making them easy to lift into the boot, or up and down kerbs.
Find features that make the ride more comfortable, like an easy suspension or the large basket. Certain models come with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seating position. This makes them able to pass through narrow doors and are also easier to maneuver on rough terrain. Some models feature a standing fold which reduces the space needed in storage. Some models come with a handy bag to transport the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is larger than a single buggy, but still feels capable enough to be used in theme parks and cities. They are also typically easier to get to and from kerbs, unlike some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly distributed weight. They can be used from newborn to around four years old, and a few are able to be attached to car seats or carrycots to extend the life.
Some can be converted to a three-child set by adding an extra buggyboard for older mobile 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 your child will develop before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
Ultimately, a great method to determine if an oversized double pushchair will work for you is to try it in person, so that you can see how easy it is to manoeuvre with two children in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the retailer for a demo or a hire agreement to experience it in person.
Stability

It can be used as a single, or a double from birth to a maximum weight of 15kg per child. Its swivel lockable front wheel and foam-filled tyres that never flat are perfect for off-road walking or even jogging, once your child is old enough.
The latter is a great choice if you're looking to buy an all-terrain double that can handle long walks and rough terrains, including cobbles, grass and dirt tracks. Its large 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels are particularly impressive, as is its great suspension for smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels can provide more stability than a four-wheeled model, making it more secure if you regularly walk in the countryside. Standard pushchairs with tiny wheels are prone to getting clogged with sticks, grass, and mud which makes them difficult to steer. On the other the other hand, a double pushchair with three wheels has large back wheels that occupy the bulk of the space, so you're less likely to trip over anything.
All-terrain strollers such as the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas that have rough and bumpy terrain. This model has large, puncture-proof tyres for all-terrain use and a robust suspension that makes it easy to navigate all kinds of surfaces without any issues. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also able to handle any terrain and is suitable for twins or a toddler with a 'PiggyBack board' (sold separately).
three wheel pushchair is another excellent example of an all-terrain pushchair. It's also suitable for jogging once your child is old enough thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and suspension. However, it's worth remembering that these pushchairs weigh more than standard models and may be a bit bulky to fold. It's best to use them for long, strenuous walks over different kinds of terrain rather than for nipping around town.
