Measure the route

Check the narrowest door and lift opening. Side-by-side and tandem layouts distribute space differently, so compare turning space and folded dimensions in addition to overall width.

Check each position

Read the instructions for each seat, bench or standing position separately. A limit applying to one position cannot be reused for another. Ask how changing the configuration affects basket access.

Try your routine

Test folding, lifting and reaching the controls. Describe the exact configuration in a community review so another parent can compare like with like.
