Seats
Most 3 wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some can convert to take a second seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are typically more common in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an extra board to older children who are ready to walk but require a little help.
For a lightweight option that's great for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It's a breeze to move and comes with a large basket that has plenty of storage space. It can be used to accommodate twins from birth and accept two car seats or an infant carrycot and seat. However, the seats have to be oriented forward and there's not enough space for a shopping bag under and you'll need a sidepack for that.
If you like to go off-road then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent choice. It's a side by tandem with the most compact footprint of any double buggy that is available. This makes it easier to squeeze through doors that are narrow and on public transport and allows you to climb up and down kerbs without too much trouble. The adjustable handlebar features an integrated handbrake to increase safety and security.
Another option that is light weight is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby. The seats can be reclining in multiple positions with UPF 50plus sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted so that the sun does not get into your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into a triple by adding UPPAbaby’s "PiggyBack" board, which is designed for older children.

The phil&teds dots are great single buggys that can be easily modified to take two (or three!) in a variety of configurations. This is especially helpful when you have a child in a car. The frame can be adapted to a wedgie, which permits the most optimal lying-flat position. Also, car seat adapters that fit various brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children are able to push it. A smooth ride is essential because babies feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's in rough terrain such as grass or unpaved paths. Some models also have locking front wheels to help with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Certain models have air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be susceptible to punctures, so ensure you have a spare set 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 might cause discomfort for your child if you decide to run.
The side-by-side buggy is the ideal buggy for city walks. It has a brilliant suspension system that allows you to easily and comfortably navigate any terrain. You can even upgrade the duet using our dual kit, allowing you to accommodate two children - all within the same footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath took the Urban Glide 2 through its paces with her newborn and
3 wheeled buggies year old son, and found it coped really well on difficult terrains: "it navigated effortlessly over grass and bumpy pavements cobbles, dirt tracks and cobbles effortlessly and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and climb up and down kerbs.

Folding
A three-wheel double buggy can be folded up in a neat manner for storage. You can find options that fold flat and then stand up (as when they're in a pushchair position) and also ones that pop out to reveal an umbrella-like fold that has the option of a brake operated by hand. In general, the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is particularly true if your wheels are larger than the average size. You will have more stability and it's 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 and then converts to a side-by-side double buggy once your child is old enough to allow them to sit next to each other. It's a light-feeling option, which makes it easy to push, and it comes with extra features like bumper bars and a raincover.
Another alternative is the phil&teds sport which is future-proof because it's a fantastic single buggy right from the start and then adjusts to take 2 (or even three!)
