What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first double buggy that is modular that expands with your family, converting from single to tandem in seconds and allowing car seats. It comes with a large basket, and foam-filled tyres that never wear out.
Our MFM testers were impressed with its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism to attach and remove cocoons that are still in the infant stage. However, they found it was not as agile on rough terrain as models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A good quality double pushchair 3 wheeler must be comfortable for both the baby and parent with a padded seat and hood that covers their heads. There are many colourways and fabrics as well as accessories available to suit your personal style. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models feature various positions that recline. Some models are lightweight which makes it easier to carry them into the boot as well as up and down kerbs.
Find features that make your ride more comfortable, for example soft suspension or an enormous basket. Certain models come with frames that expand in size to accommodate the second seating position. This lets them fit through narrow doorways and also make them more maneuverable on rough terrain. Certain models come with a clever standing fold which reduces the space needed in storage. Some models come with a convenient bag to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be bigger than single buggies, however certain models, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter and still feel nippy enough for use in cities or in theme parks. They're also easier to get up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters due to their more evenly distributed weight. They can be used from the age of newborn to about four years old, and some have the option of attaching carrycots or car seats to extend the lifespan of the seat.
The majority of them can be made into an all-in-one set by adding buggyboards for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). It's worth remembering that while most manufacturers specify the maximum weight for each seat, and possibly a total frame weight but it's not possible to know how much your child will increase in weight until they reach toddler age.
You can determine whether a double 3 wheeler pushchair is suitable for you by trying it out. This will let you see how easy it is to use with two babies in. Ask the store if they're able to provide a demonstration or hire agreement to give you a better feel for a model.
Stability
Mountain Buggy Twin Vesta is a double pushchair with 3 wheels that is suitable for use on both rough terrain and the main street. This side-byside buggies features reclined seats that are independently reclined with front and rear suspension, and a comfortable ride over uneven surfaces. It comes with a large shopping basket and a bumper with two gates that are easy to use.
Another option is the iCandy Geo 3, a compact and sleek city buggy. Its large pneumatic (air-filled) wheels are ideal for tackling bumpier terrain and its front wheel can swivel 360 degrees or be locked so you can navigate it through tight spaces. It can also hold twins or a baby and a toddler (depending on the combination of seats and carrycots used) and can be used as a one-person unit with a baby carrier attached to its clever frame, which expands in width.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a versatile option that can be used to accommodate twins as well as a baby and toddler, or even three children with the addition of running boards. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate the additional seat. It can also be used as a single stroller, with a car or infant carrier attached via its smart adaptors. Its clever front wheel can lock or swivel and the seat can recline in a variety of settings to accommodate a growing baby or toddler.
Other models worth a look include the Out n About Nipper V5 and the UPPAbaby Vista 2. The Out n' About Nipper V5 is a favorite among MFM testers because of its sleek design and high-end fabric. It can be used as a single or double seat with 15kg maximum weight. Its lockable front swivel and foam-filled tyres that never flat are perfect for off-road walking or even jogging, once your child is old enough.
This is the best choice to get an all-terrain, double that can withstand rough terrain, such as grass, cobbles and dirt tracks. Its massive 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel frontwheel are especially impressive and so is its excellent suspension to ensure an easy ride.
Safety
A double pushchair with 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. Most pushchairs have tiny wheels that can become clogged with grass, sticks and mud. 3 wheeler pushchairs makes them difficult for you to navigate. On the other hand a double pushchair that has three wheels has large back wheels that take up the majority of the space, so you're not likely to hit anything.
All-terrain strollers like the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas that have bumpy and uneven terrain. This model features large, puncture-proof all-terrain tyres and a strong suspension that allows it to easily navigate all kinds of surfaces without any problems. Similar to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can handle all types of terrain, and is perfect for twins or a baby and toddler with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another example of a good all-terrain stroller. It's also suitable for jogging when your child is old enough due to its air-filled tyres and suspension. These pushchairs can be heavier and bulkier to fold than standard pushchairs. They are best suited for long walks on different terrains.
Many of the three wheel buggys we have on hand come with great safety features, such as an automatic brake that stops when you stop with a movable handlebar and a large canopy with reflective strips. In addition, many of them offer a spacious shopping basket that is ideal to store your essentials as well as extras. Some of the more expensive models come with clever features, such as a one-handed folding mechanism and a seat pocket on the hood, which are ideal to store your phone or keys. They also fold down to a very compact size, so that you can easily tuck them away in the car or under the stairs when not in use.
