Seats
The majority of triple buggies begin life as 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 find that some models let you include a ride-onboard for older children who want to walk but require some assistance.

It can hold twins as young as birth and accommodate two car seats as well as seats and a carrycot.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension on a 3-wheel double buggy is essential to how it will be easy for you and your baby/s to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride, since babies feel every bump in the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models have front tires that lock to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres that provide a fantastic all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they could be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to run.

The more wheels a buggy has, in general the more easy it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than typical size. https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/products/lionelo-kori-2in1-pushchair-tricycle-stroller-for-kids will have more stability, and it's less likely that you will have to flip or tip your child.
