Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3-wheel double buggy is crucial to how easy it will be for you and your child to push. It is crucial to have a smooth ride, as babies can feel every bump on the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or roads that aren't paved. Certain models come with locking front tires to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Certain models have air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be susceptible to punctures, therefore, make sure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they could cause discomfort for your child if you decide to jog.

Folding

A three-wheel double buggy can fold pretty easily for storage. There are models that fold flat or stand up (as though they were in a pushchair) and others that pop out to reveal a more umbrella-like folding that has the option of a hand-operated break. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general, the easier it is to maneuver through rough terrain. This is particularly applicable when the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and decrease the likelihood that your child will fall over or tip over.

The iCandy Wave is a popular option. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car-seat as early as birth and then converted into a double buggy side-by-side when your child is older. It's a light option that is simple to push. It also comes with a bumper bar as well as raincover.

Another alternative is the phil&teds sport that is a future-proof model since it's great as a single buggy right from the start and then adjusts to take two (or even 3 wheel parent Facing pushchair!) in its small footprint.

Other models, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of room and the possibility of transporting twins or two toddlers and a child. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack board').

The Joie Evalite Duo, a lightweight stroller that can accommodate twins from birth, and is world-facing with a lie-flat seat, is something different.
