Comfort
A quality double 3 wheeler pushchair must be comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. It must have a comfortable seat and a hood that covers both of their heads. There are a variety of colours, fabrics, and accessories available to suit your personal style. The majority of models have multiple position seats that recline and some feature the option of lying flat for babies. Some models are light, making it easier to lift them into the boot as well as up and down kerbs.
Find features that make your ride more comfortable, such as soft suspension or a large basket. Some models have a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat, meaning they can be pushed through narrow entrances and are more manoeuvrable in rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold that takes up less space in storage. Some models come with a handy 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 capable enough to be used in theme parks or cities. They're also generally easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their more evenly weight distribution. Many can be used for babies up to four years older. Some models allow you to attach carrycots or car seats to extend their lifespan.
Some can even convert to a trio of kids by incorporating a buggy board for mobile older children (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 exactly how much your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
The best method of determining if the double pushchair is to test it in person, so you can be able to see how it's easy to maneuver with both babies in the seat. If you're considering a particular model, ask the store for a demo or a hire agreement so you can test it in real life.
