Seats

The majority of triple buggies begin life as single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take a second seat or carrycot using adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an extra board to older children who are able to walk, but still require assistance.

Check out the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for city streets. It's easy to move and comes with a large basket with plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins from at birth and accepts two car seats, or a carrycot that has a seat. However, the seats have to be facing forwards, and there's no space for a shopping bag underneath which is why you'll need a sidepack for that.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3 wheel double buggy is vital to how it will be easy for you and your baby/s to push. It is crucial to enjoy a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump on the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or roads that are not paved. Some models have locking front tires to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Some models use air-filled tyres which will give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be susceptible to punctures, so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to run.
