Seats

The majority of 3 wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs, although some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot with 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 in a 3 wheel double buggy is essential 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 that comes along the road. This is especially relevant if you drive on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models come with front tires that lock to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.

Some models use air-filled tyres that provide a fantastic all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures, so make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have 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 decide to jog.

You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will be forced to tip over or flip your child.
