Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children are able to push it. It is crucial to have a smooth ride, since babies feel every bump that comes along the road. This is particularly true if you are driving on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models also come with locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Certain models have air-filled tyres, which give you a great all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures, so ensure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they may be uncomfortable for your child if they choose to jog.
