What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler

The world's first modular double buggy It expands with your family, changing from single to tandem in seconds and also accepting car seats. It has a generous basket, and foam-filled tyres that never go flat.

Our MFM test participants were impressed by its quick and easy folding with one hand and the clever mechanism used to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. However, they found it was not as responsive 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 supportive seat and hood that protects their heads. There is also many different colours and fabrics, as well as accessories to fit your preferences. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models feature multiple positions that can recline. Some models are lightweight which makes it easier to lift them into the boot as well as up and down kerbs.

Look for features that will make your ride more comfortable, for example a soft suspension or a large basket. Some models come with a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat, so you can get them through narrow entrances and are more manoeuvrable on rough terrain. Some have a sleek, standing fold that takes up less room in storage between uses and some even include an rucksack that can be used for transporting the buggy.

Side-by-side buggies tend to be larger than single buggies, but certain models, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter and still feel nippy enough to be used in urban areas or in theme parks. They're also generally more easy to move to and from kerbs, unlike some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly distributed weight. They can be used from birth to four years old, and some are able to be attached to carrycots or car seats to extend the lifespan of the seat.

Some can even convert to three kids by incorporating a buggy board for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). It's worth remembering that while most manufacturers specify the maximum weight per seat, or perhaps a total frame weight, it's impossible to know how much your child will grow until they reach toddlerhood.
