Seats

The majority of triple buggies start as single 3 wheeler pushchairs. Some models can be converted to accommodate the second seat using adapters. Certain models let you add an extra board for older kids who are ready to walk, but still require a little help.

If you're looking for a lightweight option that's great for city streets, take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to maneuver and has a large basket with lots of storage.

You will require a sidepack.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is essential to how it will be easy for you and your child to push. A smooth ride is vital since babies can feel every bump on the road, particularly if it's in rough terrain such as grass or unpaved paths. Certain models also have locking front wheels to help with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models have air-filled tyres that are great for all-terrain riding, however they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have a spare set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, which are designed to withstand bumps and can be less prone to punctures, but you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you choose to jog.

Folding

A 3 wheel stroller and Car seat wheel double buggy can fold pretty neatly for storage. There are models that fold flat or stand up (as though they were in the form of a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-like folding that has an operated break. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general, the easier it is to maneuver through rough terrain. This is particularly true if the wheels are larger than the average. This will give you more stability and reduce the chance that your child will tip or flip over.

The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car seat from birth and then converted to a double buggy when your child is old.

Stores

One thing that many people appreciate about a good cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheel double buggy is the storage capacity.
