Seats

The majority of 3 wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs, although some models can be converted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot with adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). There are also models let you include a ride-onboard for older children who wish to walk but require some help.

Check out the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for city streets. It is easy to maneuver and has an enormous basket that has plenty of storage. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and accepts two car seats, or a carrycot that has a seat. However, the seats need to face forwards and there's not enough space for a shopping bag underneath which is why you'll need a sidepack to do this.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel double buggy is vital to how it will be easy for you and your child to push. A smooth ride is crucial since babies can feel every bump in the road, especially if it's on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved paths. Some models have front tires that lock to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.

Certain models have air-filled tyres which will give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures, so make sure 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, but they could cause discomfort for your child if they decide to run.

This will give you more stability and make it less likely that your child will fall over or tip over.
