Seats
The majority of triple buggies start as single pushchairs. Some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat by using adapters. Certain models let you add an extra board to older children who are ready to walk but require assistance.
For a light-weight alternative that's ideal for city streets, check out the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket with plenty of storage space. It can hold twins as young as birth and accommodate two car seats as well as seats and a carrycot. However, the seats need to be facing forwards, and there's no space for a shopping bag under which is why you'll need a sidepack for that.

Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children can push it. It is important to enjoy a smooth ride since babies feel every bump that comes along the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or roads that aren't paved. Certain models also have locking front wheels to help with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.
Some models use air-filled tyres that provide a fantastic all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they may be uncomfortable for your child if you decide to jog.

Folding
A 3 wheel double buggy can fold pretty well to be stored. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were the shape of a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding with the option of a hand-operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to handle over rough terrain. This is particularly relevant when the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and make it less likely that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.
