Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children are able to push it. It is essential to enjoy a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump that comes along the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or roads that are not 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, which give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures so make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are designed to withstand bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, however, you might find them a little stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back should you choose to jog.

You will have more stability, and it is less likely that you will be forced to tip over or flip your child.
