Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3 wheel double buggy is crucial to how it is easy for you and your baby to push.

Some models also come with locking front wheels to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Certain models have air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be susceptible to punctures, therefore, make sure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, designed to take the bumps and can be less susceptible to punctures, however, you might find them a little stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to jog.

Folding

A 3 wheel double buggy folds pretty well to be stored. You can find options that fold flat and then stand up (as when they're in a pushchair position) and also those that pop up to reveal more of an umbrella-style fold with an electric brake. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more able it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is particularly true if your wheels are larger than the average size. You will have more stability, and it's less likely that you will have to tip over or flip your child.
