Seats

Most 3 wheel double buggies are initially single pushchairs, but some can be converted to take an additional seat or carrycot using adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an extra board for older kids who are ready to walk, but still need some help.

Suspension

The suspension of a double 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheel buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children can push it. A smooth ride is vital as babies can feel every bump on the road, especially if it's on rough terrain such as grass or dirt roads. Some models also have locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.

Certain models have air-filled tyres which will give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be susceptible to punctures, so ensure you have spares in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, specifically designed to handle bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, but you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you decide to jog.
