Seats
The majority of triple buggies are initially single pushchairs, but some can be converted to take a second seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk, but require a little help.
For a lightweight option that's great for city streets, take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo. It's a breeze to move and has a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins starting at birth and can accommodate two car seats, or a carrycot with a seat. The seats must face towards the front and there is no space for a shopping bag under the seat. You will need an extra sidepack.

The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake for added safety and security.
Another option that is lightweight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double that can be used for twins or a toddler and baby. The seats can be reclining in multiple positions with UPF 50+ sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted so that the sun does not get into your child's eyes.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension on a 3-wheel double buggy is crucial to how it will be easy for you and your baby/s to push. A smooth ride is vital as babies can feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Some models have front tires that lock to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they are prone to punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres that are designed to take the bumps and are less prone to punctures however, you may find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back if you decide to jog.

Folding
A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded easily to be stored. There are options that fold flat and then stand up (as when they were in a pushchair) and also those that pop up to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with an electric brake. The more wheels a buggy is equipped with, in general the more easy it will be to maneuver on rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are bigger than the typical size. You will have more stability, and it is less likely that you will need to tip over or flip your child.
