Seats
The majority of 3 wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs, but some can convert to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk but require assistance.
Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for a lightweight option perfect for urban streets. It's easy to move and has an enormous basket that has plenty of storage. It can hold twins as young as birth and accommodate two car seats as well as an infant carrycot and seat. The seats have to face toward the forward direction and there isn't space for a shopping bag under the seat. You will need a sidepack.

The phil&teds dot is a great single buggy from day 1 which is then able to take 2 (or 3!) Multiple configurations are possible.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is vital to how it will be easy for you and your baby to push. A smooth ride is vital since babies can feel every bump in the road, especially when it's on rough terrain such as grass or paths that aren't paved. Certain models come with locking front tires that help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Certain models have air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures, therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Other models use gel or foam tyres, which are designed to take the bumps and are less prone to punctures but you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you choose to jog.
The side-by-side is the most suitable buggy for city walks. It has a brilliant suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit and you can take two children in the same footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath put the Urban Glide 2 through its paces with her newborn and 3 years old, and found that it coped really well on difficult terrains: "it navigated effortlessly over pavements that were bumpy and grassy dirt tracks, cobbles and cobbles with ease and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and get up and down kerbs. It's also very comfortable to jog with the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels giving you a stable jogging experience." The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features, including a spacious basket with zip-top cover large cushioned seat unit and a 50+ UV hood, and game changing visibility lights that are simple to use and rechargeable.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy could be folded neatly to be stored. There are options that fold flat, stand up (as as if they were the shape of a pushchair) and those that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding with the option of a hand-operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more comfortable it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than the typical size. You will have more stability, and it will be less likely that you be forced to tip over or flip your child.
The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used with an infant car-seat as early as birth and then transformed into a double buggy side-byside when your child is older. It's a comfortable and light-feeling model that makes it simple to push and comes full of extra features including a bumper bar and raincover.
