Suspension

The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine how easy your child/children and you can push it. It is important to have a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump in the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models have front tires that lock to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Some models have tyres with air filled which are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have a spare set of tyres in your trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres that are designed to withstand bumps and are less prone to punctures, however, you may find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back when you decide to jog.

Folding

A three-wheel double buggy could be folded neatly for storage. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as when they're in a pushchair position) as well as ones that pop out to reveal more of an umbrella-like fold that has a hand-operated brake. The more wheels the buggy has, generally, the easier it is to maneuver on rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are bigger than the typical size. You will have more stability, and it is less likely that you have to flip or tip your child.
