What to Look For in a Double Pushchair
3 wheeled travel system Wheeler
It is the first modular double buggy in the world. It can be changed from single to tandem mode in seconds and also accepts car seats. It also has a spacious basket and foam-filled never-flat tyres.
Our MFM test participants were impressed by its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism for attaching and remove cocoons that are still in the infant stage. They found it not as agile as other models with larger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A good quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for the baby and parent. It must have a comfortable seat, as well as an hood that covers both their heads. There are many colourways and fabrics as well as accessories available to suit your personal style. The majority of models have recliners in multiple positions and some have an option to lie flat for newborns. Some models are lighter, making it easier to carry them into the boot and up and down kerbs.
When you are looking for a double-seater, be sure to look for extra features that make your ride more pleasant, such as soft suspension and a large basket. Some models come with an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat, meaning they can be pushed through narrow doorways and are easier to maneuver on rough terrain. Some models feature a standing fold that reduces the space needed in storage. Others have a bag to transport the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-byside buggy that is wider than a single buggy but is still flexible enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. Due to their evenly distributed weight, they are also easier to maneuver around kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. Many 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 be converted to a three-child set by adding an extra buggyboard for older mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). It's important to note that although most manufacturers specify the maximum weight for each seat, and possibly a frame weight total, it's impossible to know how much your child will grow until they reach the age of toddlers.
Ultimately, a great method to determine if a
double pushchair 3 wheeler will work for you is to test it in person, so you can see how it's simple to maneuver with both babies in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the shop for a demonstration or hire agreement so you can get a feel for it in person.
Stability

The iCandy Geo 3 is a compact and elegant city buggy. Its large pneumatic wheels (air-filled) are perfect for bumpier terrain and the front wheel can pivot 360 degrees, or be locked to steer in tight spaces. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby (depending on which combination of seats/carrycots is employed), and can also be used as a single by connecting a baby carrier to its nifty frame.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a 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 that is attached to its clever adaptors. The front wheel of the model can swivel or be locked, and the seat can recline in a variety of settings to accommodate the growing toddler or baby.
The Out n About Nipper V5 is another model worth considering The UPPAbaby Vista 2 and the Out n About Nipper V5. The latter is a favorite among MFM testers due to its stylish design and premium fabrics. It can be used as a single or double from birth to a maximum of 15kg for each child. Its swivel lockable front wheel and tyres that are foam-filled and never flat are ideal for off-road walks or even jogging, once your child is old enough.
This is the
best 3 wheel stroller travel system option to get an all-terrain vehicle that can withstand rough terrain such as grass, cobbles and dirt tracks. The large rear wheels of 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheel are especially impressive as is its superb suspension that allows for smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair with 3 wheels will give you more stability than a four-wheeled model which makes it safer if you walk regularly in the countryside. Regular pushchairs have small wheels that can get filled with sticks, grass and mud. This makes them difficult to steer. On the other hand a double pushchair that has three wheels will have large back wheels that take up the majority of the space, which means you're unlikely to run over anything.
All-terrain pushchairs, such as the Roma Gemini, are a great option for those who live in an area with lots of rough and bumpy terrain. This model comes with large, puncture-resistant all-terrain tires and a sturdy suspension that allows it to move around any surface without issue. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also capable of handling any terrain and can be used by twins or a toddler with a 'PiggyBack board' (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another good all-terrain stroller. It's ideal for jogging when your child is old enough, thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and suspension. These pushchairs are heavier and more bulkier to fold than standard pushchairs. They are best used for long walks over different terrains.
A majority of the 3 wheel buggys we have in stock come with excellent safety features, such as an automatic brake that stops when you stop the vehicle, an adjustable handlebar, and a large canopy with reflective strips. Additionally, many of them offer a spacious shopping basket that is ideal to store all your essentials as well as extras. Some of the more expensive models come with smart features like a one-handed folding mechanism and a seat pocket on the hood, which is perfect for storing your phone or keys. They fold down to a small size, meaning you can easily put them away in the car or under the stairs when not in use.
