What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The world's first double buggy that is modular that grows with your family, switching from single to tandem in just a few seconds and also accepting car seats. It comes with a spacious basket, as well as tyres that are filled with foam that never wear out.
Our MFM testers were impressed by its clever one-handed fold and the clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. However, they were disappointed that it wasn't as agile when it came to rough terrain, as some models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A good quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both the baby and parents with a padded seat and hood that protects their heads. There are many colourways and fabrics as well as accessories available to suit your personal style. The majority of models have multiple position seats that recline and some even have a lie flat mode for infants. Some models are lighter and can be used to carry them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
When looking for a model with two seats, look for additional features that make your ride more pleasant like soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models have frames that expand in width to accommodate a second seating position. This allows them to pass through narrow doors and also make them easier to maneuver on rough terrain. Some models feature a standing fold that takes up less space in storage. Some models have a bag for transporting the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be bigger than single buggies, however some, such as the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter but still have enough nippy feel to be used in urban areas or at theme parks. They're also generally easier to get up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters due to their more evenly distributed weight. They are suitable for babies up to four years of age. Some have the option to attach carrycots or child car seats to extend their lifespan.
Some can even convert to a trio of kids by adding a buggy for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). It's important to note that although most manufacturers will specify the maximum weight per seat, or perhaps a total frame weight but it's not possible to know how much your children will increase in weight until they reach toddler age.
You can determine whether a double 3 wheeler pushchair is right for you by trying it out. This will let you discover how easy it is to get two babies in. If you're considering a particular model, ask the shop for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can experience it in real life.
Stability
If you're looking for a double pushchair 3 wheeler that is able to tackle rough terrain and the streets, check out the Mountain Buggy Twin Vesta.

It has a large shopping basket, and an enclosure with two gates that is easy to operate.
The iCandy Geo 3 is a compact and sleek city buggy. Its large pneumatic wheels (air-filled) are ideal for bumpier terrain, and its front wheel is able to rotate 360 degrees or be locked to navigate in tight spaces. It can also carry twins or a baby and a toddler (depending on the combination of seats and carrycots employed) and can be used as a one-person unit with a baby carrier that is attached to its smart frame, which expands in width.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 is a flexible option that can accommodate twins or toddlers, babies and even three children by adding a board. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and can be used as a single pushchair with an infant or car seat carrier that is attached to its clever adaptors. The front wheel is cleverly designed to be locked or swiveled and the seat can recline in various positions to accommodate an expanding toddler or child.
The Out n About Nipper V5 is another model worth considering The UPPAbaby Vista 2 and the Out n About Nipper V5. The former is a favourite among MFM testers for its stylish design and premium fabrics. It can be used as a single or double, from birth to a maximum weight of 15kg for each child. Its lockable front wheel swivels and foam-filled tyres that never flat are ideal for off-road walking or even jogging, once your child is old enough.
This is a fantastic pick if you're after an all-terrain double that can handle long walks and rough terrains, including cobbles, grass and dirt tracks. Its huge 16" rear wheels, lockable swivel wheel and great suspension make it a very impressive bike.
Safety
A double pushchair that has three wheels will give you a lot more stability than a typical four-wheeled pushchair, which makes it a safer choice if you frequently walk through the countryside. The typical pushchair has small wheels that are prone to becoming blocked by sticks, grass, and mud. This makes them difficult for you to navigate. On the other the other hand, a double pushchair with three wheels will have big back wheels that occupy the bulk of the space, so you're less likely to trip over anything.
All-terrain pushchairs like the Roma Gemini, are a ideal choice for those who live in an area with lots of bumpy and rough terrain. This model features large, puncture-proof all-terrain tires and a robust suspension that allows it to easily navigate any surface without any problems. Similar to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can handle any terrain and is ideal for twins or a baby and toddler with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another good all-terrain stroller. 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. These pushchairs can be heavier and bulkier to fold than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for long walks on different terrains.
A majority of the three wheel buggys we have on hand come with great safety features, including an automatic brake that stops when you stop with a movable handlebar and a canopy that is large with reflective strips. A lot of them come with a large shopping basket that is ideal to store your necessities. Some of the more expensive models come with clever features, such as the ability to fold with one hand and an hood pocket that fits inside the hood, which is perfect to store your phone or keys. When not in 3 wheeler buggy can be folded to a compact size.
