Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children can push it.

Certain models come with front tires that lock to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Certain models have air-filled tyres which will provide a fantastic all-terrain adventure, but they could be prone to punctures therefore, make sure you have spares in the trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, however they may be uncomfortable for your child should you decide to jog.

This will give you more stability and decrease the likelihood that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.
