Comfort
A high-quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for the baby and parent. It should have a supportive seat and the hood should cover both of their heads. There are a variety of colours and fabrics as well as accessories available to suit your personal style. Some models have a lie-flat mode for newborns and most models have various positions that recline. Some models are lighter which makes it easier to move them into the car and to move them up and down kerbs.
Look for features that will make the ride more comfortable, like a soft suspension or an enormous basket. Some models come with an innovative frame that can expand widthways to accommodate the second seat, meaning you can fit them through narrow entrances and are more manoeuvrable on rough terrain. Some models have a neat standing fold which reduces the space needed in storage. Some models come with a handy bag to transport the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a buggy that is side-by-side that is wider than a single buggy, yet still agile enough to be used in theme parks or cities. They're also generally more easy to move up and down kerbs than other twin-seaters due to their more evenly weight distribution. Many are suitable from birth to four years, and some have the option of attaching carrycots or car seats to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some can be converted to a three-child set by incorporating an extra buggyboard for older mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight for each seat and possibly for a whole frame, it's impossible to know exactly how much your child will grow before they reach toddlerhood.
