What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first double buggy that is modular in the world. It can be transformed from single to tandem mode in a matter of seconds, and it accepts car seats. It also has a spacious basket and foam-filled tyres that never flatten.
Our MFM test participants were impressed by its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. However, they felt it wasn't as agile on rough terrain as models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A quality double pushchair 3 wheeler should be comfortable for both baby and parents, with a supportive seat and hood that covers their heads. There are a variety of colors and fabrics as well as accessories available to suit your personal style. Most models feature multiple position seats that recline and some have a lie flat mode for babies. Some are lightweight too which makes them easier to lift into the boot or to climb up and down kerbs.
Look for features that will make your ride more comfortable, such as soft suspension or an enormous basket. Some models have frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate the second seating position. This allows them to fit through narrow doorways, and they are easier to maneuver on uneven terrain. Others have a neat standing fold that requires less space for storage between uses, and some even include a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be larger than single buggies, but some, such as the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter and still feel nippy enough for use in cities or in theme parks. Due to their equally distributed weight they are also less difficult to maneuver around kerbs, compared to other twin-seaters. They are suitable for babies up to four years older. Some models allow you to connect carrycots or child car seats to extend their life.
Some even allow for a trio of children by adding a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps the entire frame, it is difficult to know precisely how your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
You can decide whether a triple wheeler pushchair is right for you by trying it out. This will allow you to observe how easy it is to get both babies inside. Ask the shop if they can offer a demo or hire agreement to help you get a better feel for a model.

The Out n About Nipper V5 is a model that's worth a look and so is 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 a double from birth up to a maximum weight of 15kg per child. The swivel lockable wheel and never-flat tyres on this stroller are ideal for walking off-road, or even jogging once your child is older.
This is the best choice to get an all-terrain, double capable of handling rough terrain such as cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks. Its massive 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheel are impressive as is its superb suspension for smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels will provide you with more stability than a model with four wheels and is safer for those who walk frequently in the countryside. Standard pushchairs with tiny wheels are prone to getting clogged with grass, sticks and mud, which makes them difficult to steer. A double pushchair with 3 wheels has big back wheels which 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 that have bumpy and uneven terrain.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another example of a good all-terrain stroller. three wheel pushchair with air filled tires allow you to run with your child when they're old enough. But, it's important to keep in mind that these pushchairs weigh a bit more than standard models and can be a bit heavy to fold, so it's best to use them for long walks across different terrains instead of for a quick trip around town.
