Our MFM testers were impressed by its quick and easy folding with one hand and the clever mechanism for attaching and remove newborn cocoons. They thought it was not as agile as other models with larger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A quality double 3 wheeler pushchair should be comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. It should have a comfortable seat, as well as the hood should cover both their heads. You can also find an array of colours and accessories that match your personal style. Some models have a lie-flat mode for newborns and most models feature multiple positions that can recline. Some are also light making them easy to carry into the boot or up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater look for additional features that make your ride more pleasant, such as soft suspension and an oversized basket. Certain models come with frames that expand in size to accommodate the second seating position. This makes them able to fit through narrow doorways and are also more maneuverable on rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold which makes use of less space in storage. Some models come with a convenient bag to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are generally bigger than single buggies, however some, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter but still feel comfortable enough to be used in urban areas or at theme parks. They’re also generally 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, and some have the option of attaching 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). While most manufacturers specify the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps for a whole frame, it is impossible to determine exactly how much your child will grow before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
You can determine whether a double 3 wheeler pushchair is the right one for you by trying it out. This will allow you to discover how easy it is with two babies in. Ask the shop if they are able to offer a demo or hire agreement to give you a better feel for a model.
