Seats
Most
3 wheeled buggy wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs, although some can be converted to take a second seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). You'll also see that some models will allow you to add a ride-on board to older children who wish to walk but still need a little help.

It can be used to accommodate twins from birth and will accept two car seats or seats and a carrycot. However, the seats need to be oriented forward and there's no space for a shopping bag under, so you'll need a sidepack to do that.

Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children are able to push it. It is important to have a smooth ride, since babies feel every bump on the road. This is particularly relevant if you drive on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models also have locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled which are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they can be prone punctures. Be sure to keep a spare set of tyres in your trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres that are specifically designed to handle bumps and can be less susceptible to punctures, however, you may feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back when you choose to jog.
