Seats
The majority of 3 wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs, although some can convert to take the seat of a second person or carrycot by converting adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an extra board for older children who are able to walk, but need some help.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your baby to push. It is important to have a smooth ride, because 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 aren't paved. Certain models also have front wheels that lock to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled that are great for all-terrain riding, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure you keep a spare set of tyres inside the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are specifically designed to handle bumps and are less prone to punctures, but you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back should you choose to jog.

Folding
A three-wheel double buggy can fold up pretty easily to store it. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as as if they were a pushchair) and others that are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-style folding, with an operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more able it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than the typical size. You will have more stability, and it is less likely that you need to tip over or flip your child.
A popular option is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth using an infant car seat. It transforms into a side-by-side double buggy once your child is old enough to allow them to sit beside each one. It's a light option that is simple to push. It also comes with a bumper bar and a raincover.

Storage
One thing that a lot of people love about a quality triple wheeled double buggy is the storage capacity.

It is also designed to be able to handle a little rough terrain, making it a great option for family walks or all-terrain walks.
