Seats
Most
3 wheel pushchair off road wheel double buggies start as single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accept an additional seat by using adapters. Some models allow you to add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk but need some help.

You will need an extra sidepack.

3 wheeler strollers!) in various configurations. This is especially helpful if you have a baby in a car. The frame can be affixed to a wedgie, which permits the best lie-flat position. Also, car seat adapters that fit a wide range of brands.
Suspension
The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is crucial to how it is easy for you and your baby to push. It is important to enjoy a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump in 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 come with locking front tires that aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures, so ensure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, specifically designed to handle bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, however, you may find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back if you decide to jog.
The side-by-side buggy is the ideal buggy for city walks. It features a fantastic suspension system that lets you effortlessly and comfortably traverse any terrain. Upgrade the duet to our dual kit to carry two children on the same footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath put the Urban Glide 2 through its trials with her newborn and
3 wheeler pushchair years old children, and discovered that it was able to handle tricky terrain: "it navigated effortlessly over grass and bumpy pavements cobbles, dirt tracks and cobbles easily and was able to maneuver around corners and climb up and down kerbs. It's even very pleasant to jog on, thanks to the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheel giving you a stable jogging experience." The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as a large basket with a zip-top cover, large cushioned seat unit with 50+ UV hood, and game-changing lights that are easy to use and recharge.
Folding
A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded up easily for storage. There are options that fold flat and then stand up (as when they were in a pushchair) as well as those that pop open to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with an electric brake. The more wheels a buggy has, generally, the easier it is to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than typical size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will need to flip or tip your child.
The iCandy Wave is a popular option. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car-seat as early as birth and then converted to a double buggy when your child is older. It's a
lightweight 3 wheel buggy option, which makes it easy to push and comes with extra features like bumper bars and a raincover.
