What to Look For in a Double Pushchair
3 wheel stroller for newborn Wheeler
The first double buggy that is modular that grows with your family, converting from single to tandem in just a few seconds and allowing car seats. It also has a generous basket and foam-filled never-flat tyres.
Our MFM test participants praised its clever one-handed fold and the clever mechanism for attaching and removing newborn cocoons. However, they found it was not as agile when it came to rough terrain, as some models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A good quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. It should have a supportive seat, as well as a hood that covers both of their heads. You can also find a wide choice of colourways, fabrics and accessories to suit your style. Many models come with multiple position seats that recline and some feature an option to lie flat for newborns. Some models are light, making it easier to move them into the car and up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater look out for extra features that make the ride more enjoyable like soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models have an intelligent frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat, so you can get them through narrow doors and are more manoeuvrable on rough terrain. Some models have a clever, standing fold that takes up less room for storage between uses, and some models even have an rucksack that can be used for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a buggy that is side-by-side that is wider than a single buggy but is still flexible enough to be used in theme parks or cities. Due to their equally distributed weight, they are also easier to maneuver around kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. They can be used from birth to four years old, and some can be fitted with carrycots or car seats to extend the life.
Some can be converted to a three-child set by adding buggyboards for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). It's important to remember that although 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 children will increase in weight until they reach toddlerhood.
Ultimately, a great method of determining if a double pushchair
best lightweight 3 wheel stroller wheeler can work for you is to test it out in person, so you can see how it's easy to maneuver with both babies in the seat. Ask the shop if they are able to offer a demo or hire agreement to give you a better feel for a model.
