Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel buggies-wheel double buggy is vital to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. A smooth ride is essential as babies can feel every bump on the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Some models have locking front tires to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Certain models have air-filled tyres which will give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may be uncomfortable for your child if you decide to run.

In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more able it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is particularly true if your wheels are bigger than the average size. You will have more stability, and it is less likely that you will have to tip over or flip your child.
