What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first modular double buggy in the world. It can be changed from single to tandem mode in seconds and can be used with 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 used to attach and remove newborn cocoons. They felt that it was not as quick as other models equipped with larger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double 3 wheeler pushchair must be comfortable for both the child and the parent. It must have a comfortable seat, and a hood that covers both their heads. There are many colourways of fabrics, fabrics, and accessories that can be adapted to your personal style. The majority of models have multiple position seats that recline and some feature the option of lying flat for newborns. Some are also light making them easy to carry into the boot or to climb up and down kerbs.
When looking for a model with two seats, look out for extra features that make the ride more enjoyable, such as soft suspension and an oversized basket. Some models have a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seating position. This allows them to pass through narrow doors and are also easier to maneuver in rough terrain. Certain models come with a clever standing fold which takes up less space in storage. Some models have a bag to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are generally larger than single buggies, but some, such as the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter, yet still feel comfortable enough to be used in cities or in theme parks. Due to their equally distributed weight they are also much easier to move up and down kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. Many can be used for babies up to four years of age. Some models allow you to attach carrycots or child car seats to extend their lifespan.
Some even allow for a trio of children by adding a buggy for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight limit for each seat and perhaps the entire frame, it is impossible to know precisely how your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
Ultimately, a great method to determine if a double pushchair 3 wheeler will work for you is to try it in person, so that you can be able to see how easy it is to manoeuvre with both children in the seat. Ask the shop if they can provide a demonstration or hire agreement to help you get a better feel for a model.
Stability

This side-by-side buggies comes with seating that recline independently with front and rear suspension, and an enjoyable ride on rough surfaces. It comes with a large shopping basket, as well as a bumper with two gates that are simple to operate.
Another great option is the iCandy Geo 3, a sleek and compact city buggy. Its large pneumatic wheels (air-filled) are ideal for bumpier terrain, and its front wheel is able to rotate 360 degrees or can be locked so you can steer in tight spaces. It can carry twins, a baby and toddler (depending on the combination of seats or carrycots is being used), and can also 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 be used to accommodate twins, toddlers, babies and even three kids with the addition of a board. The frame's clever design expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can also be used as a single stroller with the infant or car carrier attached with its clever adaptors. The innovative front wheel can be locked or swiveled and the seat can be reclined into multiple positions for an expanding toddler or child.
The Out n About Nipper V5 is another model worth considering, as are the UPPAbaby Vista 2 and the Out n About Nipper V5. The Out n About V5 is a favorite among MFM testers due to its sleek design and high-end fabric. It can be used for the single or double seating with 15kg in weight. Its lockable front swivel and foam-filled never flat tyres are perfect for off-road walking or even jogging when your child is old enough.
This is the best option for those who want an all-terrain vehicle that can handle rough terrain, such as grass, cobbles, and dirt tracks. Its large 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel frontwheel are particularly impressive, as is its great suspension for an easy ride.
Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels will provide more stability than a standard four-wheeled model, making it a safer choice if you regularly walk in the countryside. The typical pushchair with small wheels can become clogged with sticks, grass and mud, making them difficult to steer. A double pushchair that has 3 wheels has large rear wheels that make up the majority of the space. You are less likely to come across anything.
All-terrain strollers such as the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas with bumpy and rough terrain. This model comes with large, puncture-proof all-terrain tyres and a strong suspension that makes it easy to navigate all kinds of surfaces without issue. Similarly, the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can handle all types of terrain and is ideal for twins or toddlers with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another excellent example of an all-terrain pushchair. The tyres are filled with air and allow you to run with your child when they are old enough. However, it's worth remembering that these types of pushchairs weigh more than standard models and may be a bit bulky to fold, so it's ideal to use them for long, strenuous walks across different terrains instead of for a stroll around town.
