Seats

The majority of triple buggies start as single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate the second seat using adapters. You'll also find that some models allow you to add a ride-on board for older children who would like to walk, but need some assistance.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight option that is perfect for urban streets. It's easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket with plenty of storage space. It can be used to accommodate twins from birth and accept two car seats or an infant carrycot and seat. The seats are required to be oriented forward and there's not enough space to store a bag of groceries underneath and you'll need a sidepack for that.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3-wheel double buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your baby to push. It is crucial to enjoy a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump on the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain like grass or roads that are not paved. Some models also have locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.

Some models come with air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures so ensure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, however they might be uncomfortable for your child if they decide to jog.

It's also very comfortable to jog, with the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels providing a safe jogging experience." The Urban Glide 2 has a number of features, like an enormous seat unit that comes with a padded cover, hood with 50+ UV protection and rechargeable and easy-to use visibility lights.

Folding

A 3-wheel double buggy can fold up very neatly to be stored. There are models that fold flat, stand up (as though they were in a pushchair) and those that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding with an operated break. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general, the easier it is to maneuver through rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than the average. This will provide you with more stability and decrease the likelihood that your children will fall over or tip over.

A popular option is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth with an infant car seat, and then converts to a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough for them to be seated next to each one.
