Seats

The majority of 3 wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs, but some models can be converted to accommodate the seat of a second person or carrycot by converting adapters (these are typically more common in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an extra board for older children who are able to walk but require a little help.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3 wheel double buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your child to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump that comes along the road. This is particularly relevant if you drive on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models also have front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.

Some models use air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures, therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres which are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may cause discomfort for your child if they choose to jog.

Folding

A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded up in a neat manner to be stored. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as as if they were in a pushchair) and also ones that pop out to reveal an umbrella-like fold that has a hand-operated brake. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is particularly true if your wheels are larger than typical size. You will have more stability, and it will be less likely that you will be forced to flip or tip your child.
