What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler

The first modular double buggy that grows with your family, changing from single to tandem in a matter of seconds and allowing car seats. It also has a spacious basket and foam-filled never-flat tyres.

Our MFM testers were impressed with its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism for attaching and remove newborn cocoons. However, they felt it was not as agile on rough terrain as models with larger wheels.

Comfort

A good quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both baby and parent with a padded seat and hood that covers their heads. There are a variety of colours, fabrics, and accessories available to suit your personal style. Most models feature recliners in multiple positions and some even have the option of lying flat for infants. Some models are lightweight which makes it easier to lift them into the boot and to move them up and down kerbs.

Look for features that will make your ride more comfortable, like soft suspension or an enormous basket. Some models feature an intelligent frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat, which means you can fit them through narrow entrances and are more maneuverable on tough terrain. Some models feature a standing fold that makes use of less space in storage. Others come with a convenient bag for transporting the buggy.

The Roma Gemini is a good example of a buggy that is side-by-side that is larger than a single one, yet still flexible enough to be used in theme parks and cities. They are also typically easier to get up and down kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly weight distribution. They are suitable for babies up to four years old. Some have the option to connect carrycots or child car seats to prolong their lifespan.

The majority of them can be made into a three-child set by incorporating an extra buggyboard for older mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps the entire frame, it is impossible to know precisely how much your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.

The best method of determining if a double pushchair 3 wheeler will work for you is to try it in person, so that you can observe how easy it is to manoeuvre with both babies in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the retailer to show you a demonstration or a hire agreement to experience it in the real world.

Stability

Mountain Buggy Twin Vesta is a 3 wheeled double pushchair that can be used on rough terrain as well as the high street. The side-by-side buggies have independent recline seats as well as front and rear facing 3 wheel stroller suspension for an enjoyable ride on rough surfaces. It also has a large shopping basket as well as a simple two-gate opening bumper, which makes it perfect for parents who are on the move.

The iCandy Geo 3 wheel stroller with seat is a compact and sleek city buggy. Its large pneumatic (air-filled) wheels are great to tackle bumpier terrain. Additionally, its front wheel is able to rotate 360 degrees, or be locked so you can navigate it through tight spaces. It can be used to carry twins, a baby and toddler (depending on which combination of seats or carrycots is being used) or be used as a single by connecting a baby carrier to its nifty frame.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a super versatile option that can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler, or even three children with the addition of a running board. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, and it can be used as a single pushchair with a car seat or infant carrier attached to its smart adaptors. Its front wheel is cleverly designed to swivel or be locked, and the seat can recline in a variety of settings to accommodate the growing toddler or baby.

Other models worth looking into include the Out n About Nipper V5 and the UPPAbaby Vista 2. The latter is a favorite among MFM testers due to its sleek design and high-end fabrics and can be used as a single, or a double from birth to a maximum weight of 15kg for each child. Its lockable front wheel swivels and tyres that are foam-filled and never flat are perfect for off-road walking or even jogging, once your child is old enough.

This is the ideal choice for those who want an all-terrain double that can withstand rough terrain, such as cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks. Its massive 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel frontwheel are impressive and so is its excellent suspension for an easy ride.

Safety

A double pushchair with three wheels will provide you with more stability than your average four-wheeled pushchair, which makes it a safer choice when you frequently walk through the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small wheels can become clogged with sticks, grass, and mud which makes them difficult to navigate. A double pushchair with three wheels has large rear wheels that cover the majority of the space. It is less likely to get into 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 strong suspension that allows for easy maneuvering on all types of surfaces without any issues. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also capable of handling any terrain and is suitable for twins, a baby or toddler with a 'PiggyBack board' (sold separately).

The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another great example of an all-terrain pushchair. The air-filled tyres let you jog with your child once they are old enough. But, it's important to keep in mind that these pushchairs weigh more than standard ones and can be a bit bulky to fold. Therefore, it's recommended to use them for long walks on different types of terrain instead of for a quick trip around the town.

A lot of the three wheel buggys we have on hand come with great safety features, including an automatic brake that stops when you stop, an adjustable handlebar and a large canopy with reflective strips. Additionally, many of them offer a spacious shopping basket, which is ideal to store your essentials and other items. Some of the more expensive models come with smart features like a one-handed folding mechanism and a pocket for your seat on the hood, which is perfect for storing your phone and keys. They also fold down to a compact size, so you can easily store them in the car boot or under the stairs when they are not when not in use.
