Seats
The majority of triple buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models will allow you to include a ride-onboard for older children who would like to walk but still need some help.

It can accommodate twins from birth and accommodate two car seats as well as seats and a carrycot. 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 in a 3-wheel double buggy is vital to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. A smooth ride is crucial because babies feel every bump in the road, especially when it's on rough terrain such as grass or paths that aren't paved. Some models have locking front tires to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres which are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they are prone to punctures. Be sure to keep an extra set of tyres in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they could be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to jog.

Folding
A 3-wheel double buggy can fold up very neatly to store it. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as though they were in a pushchair) and those that pop out to reveal a more umbrella-style folding, with an operated break. The more wheels a buggy is equipped with, in general the easier it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is especially relevant when the wheels are larger than the average. This will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your child will tip or flip over.
