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 to push.

Some models also come with locking front wheels to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Certain models have air-filled tyres, which give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures, so make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to run.
