What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The first double buggy that is modular, it expands with your family, converting from single to tandem in seconds and also accepting car seats. It comes with a large basket, and foam-filled tyres that never wear out.
Our MFM testers praised its smart one-handed fold and its clever mechanism for attaching and removing newborn cocoons. However, they found it was not as agile on rough terrain as other models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for both the child as well as the parent. It should have a supportive seat, as well as an hood that covers both of their heads. There are a variety of colours and fabrics as well as accessories that can be adapted to your personal style. The majority of models have multiple position seats that recline and some feature a lie flat mode for babies. Some models are light which makes it easier to lift them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
Consider features that make the ride more comfortable, for example a soft suspension or the large basket. Some models have frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate the second seating position. This lets them fit through narrow doorways and are also easier to maneuver on uneven terrain. Some have a sleek standing fold that requires less space for storage between uses, and some have an rucksack that can be used for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-by-side buggy that is wider than a single buggy yet still agile enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. They're also generally more easy to move up and down kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their more evenly weight distribution. Many are suitable from the age of newborn to about four years old, and some can be fitted with car seats or carrycots to extend the life.
A few can be transformed into an all-in-one set by adding a buggyboard for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight limit for each seat, and possibly a total frame, it's impossible to know precisely how your child will develop before they reach toddlerhood.
In the end, the best way to decide how well an oversized double pushchair can work for you is to test it out in person, so you can observe how it's easy to maneuver with two children in the seat. Ask the shop if they can offer a demo or hire agreement to give you an idea of the model.
Stability
Mountain Buggy Twin Vesta is a 3 wheeled double pushchair that is suitable for use on rough terrains as well as the streets. The side-by-side buggies have reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and front and rear suspension for a comfortable ride on uneven surfaces. It has a large shopping basket and a bumper with two gates that are simple to operate.
Another top choice is the iCandy Geo 3, a sleek and compact city buggy. Its large pneumatic (air-filled) wheels are perfect to tackle bumpier terrain. Additionally, its front wheel can rotate 360 degrees or be locked so you can steer it in tight spaces. It can also be used to carry twins or a baby and a toddler (depending on the combination of seats and carrycots employed) and can be used as a single, with a baby carrier that is attached to its smart frame that expands widthways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a versatile model that can easily 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 size to accommodate the additional seat. It can also be used as a single stroller with a car or infant carrier attached using its clever adaptors. The front wheel of the model can lock or swivel and the seat can recline in multiple positions to accommodate the needs of a growing toddler or baby.
The Out n About Nipper V5 is a different model to consider, as are the UPPAbaby Vista 2 and the Out n About Nipper V5. 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 of 15kg per child. Its lockable front swivel and foam-filled never flat tyres are ideal for off-road walking or even jogging once your child is old enough.
The latter is a great choice if you're looking to buy an all-terrain double that can handle long walks as well as rough terrain, including cobbles dirt tracks, grass, and cobbles. Its huge 16" rear wheels, lockable swivel wheel and excellent suspension make it an impressive bike.
Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels will give you a lot more stability than a typical four-wheeled pushchair, making it a safer choice if you regularly walk in the countryside. The typical pushchair has small wheels that can become filled with sticks, grass, and mud. This makes them difficult to steer. On the other side, a double pushchair with three wheels has large back wheels that take up the majority of the space, meaning you're unlikely to run over anything.
All-terrain strollers such as the Roma Gemini are ideal for those who live in areas that have bumpy and rough terrain. This model is equipped with large, puncture-resistant all-terrain tires as well as a robust suspension that allows it to maneuver over any surface without any issues. Similar to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can handle all types of terrains and is suitable for twins, or a baby and toddler with the addition of a 'PiggyBack'-style board (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another good all-terrain stroller. It's also suitable for jogging after your child has reached the age of enough thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as suspension. These pushchairs can be larger and heavier to fold than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for long walks over different terrains.
