Our MFM testers were impressed by its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism for attaching and remove the newborn cocoons. However, they were disappointed that it wasn't as agile on rough terrain as models with bigger wheels.
Comfort
A good quality double pushchair 3 wheeler must be comfortable for both the baby and parent with a comfortable seat and hood that covers their heads. You can also find a wide choice of colourways, fabrics and accessories to fit your preferences. Many models come with multiple position seats that recline and some feature a lie flat mode for newborns. Some models are lightweight which makes it easier to move them into the car and to move them up and down kerbs.
Find features that make your ride more comfortable, like an easy suspension or the large basket. Some models have frames that expand in width to accommodate a second seating position. This lets them fit through narrow doorways, and they are easier to maneuver in rough terrain. Some models feature a standing fold that reduces the space needed in storage. Others have a bag 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 one, but is still capable enough to be utilized in theme parks or cities. Due to their evenly distributed weight they are also less difficult to maneuver around kerbs compared to other twin-seaters. Many can be used from the age of newborn to about four years old, and some have the option of attaching car seats or carrycots to extend the life.
Some even allow for a trio of children by incorporating a buggy board for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight for each seat and possibly the entire frame, it is impossible to determine exactly how your child will develop before they reach the age of toddlerhood.
