Most 3 wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs, but some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies).

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheeled buggy-wheel double buggy is essential to how easy it will be for you and your child to push. A smooth ride is crucial because babies feel every bump in the road, especially if it's on rough terrain like grass or unpaved paths. Some models also come with locking front wheels to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models come with air-filled tyres that provide a fantastic all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures, so make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, specifically designed to handle bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, but you might find them a little stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back when you decide to run.

A three wheel pushchair-wheeled double buggy can be folded neatly to store it.

The more wheels the buggy has, generally the easier it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is especially relevant if the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and decrease the likelihood that your children will fall over or tip over.
