The majority of triple buggies begin as single pushchairs. However, some can be converted to accommodate a second seat with adapters. Certain models let you add an additional board for older kids who are ready to walk but need some help.
If you're looking for a lightweight option that is ideal for city streets, check out the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to move and has an enormous basket that has plenty of storage.

If you like to take off-road trips then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent option. It's a side-by- tandem with the most compact footprint of any double buggy available.

Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children can push it. It is important to enjoy a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump in the road. This is particularly the case if you're driving on rough terrain, such as grass or roads that aren't paved. Certain models also have locking front wheels to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled that are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they can be prone punctures. Be sure to keep an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are designed to take the bumps and can be less prone to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back should you decide to run.

Folding
A three-wheel double buggy can be folded easily to store it. There are options that fold flat, stand up (as though they were in a pushchair) and also open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding, with a hand-operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with, the easier it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is especially relevant when the wheels are bigger than average - this will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your children will tip or flip over.
A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth using an infant car seat, and it can be converted into a side-byside double buggy when your child is old enough for them to be seated next to each one.
