Seats
Most 3 wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs, although some models can be converted to accommodate the seat of a second person or carrycot by converting adapters (these are typically more common in tandem buggies).

Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel double buggy is crucial to how it will be easy for you and your child to push. It is important to have a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump that comes along the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models come with locking front tires to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres which will give you a great all-terrain experience, but they can be susceptible to punctures, so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Other models use gel or foam tyres that are specifically designed to handle bumps and are less prone to punctures, however, you may feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back when you choose to jog.

Folding
A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded up easily for storage. There are options that fold flat and then stand up (as when they're in a pushchair position) and also ones that pop out to reveal a more umbrella-style fold, with an electric brake. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general the more easy it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is particularly true if the wheels are larger than average. This will provide you with more stability and decrease the likelihood that your child will tip or flip over.
