Comfort
A quality double 3 wheeler pushchair should be comfortable for both the child and parent. It should have a supportive seat, as well as the hood should cover both of their heads. You will also have many different colours, fabrics and accessories to fit your preferences. Certain models come with a lie flat mode for infants, and the majority of models come with different positions that recline. Some are lightweight too making them easy to lift into the boot or up and down kerbs.
Consider features that make the ride more comfortable, for example a soft suspension or an enormous basket. Some models have a clever frame that can expand widthways to accommodate the second seat, which means you can get them through narrow doorways and are easier to maneuver on tough terrain. Certain models come with a clever standing fold that reduces the space needed in storage. Others come with a handy bag for transporting the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies are typically wider than single buggys but certain models, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter, yet still have enough nippy feel for use in cities or in theme parks.

They can be used from the age of newborn to about four years old, and a few are able to be attached to carrycots or car seats to prolong the life of the product.
The majority of them can be made into an all-in-one set by adding buggyboards for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While the majority of manufacturers state the maximum weight limit for each seat and possibly a total frame, it's impossible to determine exactly how your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
The best way to decide how well the double pushchair is to try it in person, so that you can be able to see how it's simple to maneuver with two children in the seat. If you're thinking about a specific model, ask the shop for a demo or a hire agreement to test it in real life.
