Our MFM testers were impressed by its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism used to attach and remove the newborn cocoons. They felt that it was not as quick as other models with bigger wheels when on rough terrain.
Comfort
A quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for both the child and the parent. It should have a supportive seat, as well as a hood that covers both their heads. You will also have many different colours, fabrics and accessories to match your personal style. Some models come with a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models come with different positions that can recline. Some models are also lightweight, making them easier to lift into the boot or to climb up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater look for additional features that make the journey more comfortable, such as soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models have a frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seating position. This allows them to fit through narrow doorways and also make them more maneuverable in rough terrain. Some models have a clever standing fold which takes up less space for storage between uses, and some models even come with a handy rucksack for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-byside buggy that is larger than a single one, but is still flexible enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. Due to their equally distributed weight they are also less difficult to maneuver around kerbs, compared to other twin-seaters. They can be used from birth to four years old, and a few can be fitted with carrycots or car seats to extend the life.
Some models can even be converted to three kids by incorporating a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight for each seat, and possibly for a whole frame, it is difficult to know precisely how much your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
You can determine if a double 3 wheeler pushchair is the right one for you by testing it out. This will allow you to see how easy it is to use with both babies inside. If you're considering a particular model, ask the shop for a demo or a hire agreement so you can test it in person.

Safety
