Seats

The majority of 3 wheel double buggies begin as single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat by using adapters. You'll also see that some models will allow you to include a ride-onboard for older children who wish to walk, but need some assistance.

For a lightweight option that is ideal for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket that has plenty of storage space. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and will accept two car seats or a carrycot that has a seat. The seats must be facing forward and there is no space to store a shopping bag under the seat. You will need an extra sidepack.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your baby to push. It is important to have a smooth ride, because babies can feel every bump on the road. This is especially true if you are driving on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Certain models also have front wheels that lock to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are great for all-terrain rides, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, however they may cause discomfort for your child if you decide to run.

Folding

There are options that fold flat and stand up (as though they were in the shape of a pushchair) and others that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding, with a hand-operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy has the more able it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are bigger than the average size. You will have more stability, and it's less likely that you have to flip or tip your child.
