Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3 wheel reversible stroller wheel double buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your baby/s to push. It is crucial to have a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump in the road. This is especially true if you are driving on rough terrain, such as grass or roads that are not paved. Some models also come with locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.

Some models use air-filled tyres which will give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be susceptible to punctures, so make sure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, however they might be uncomfortable for your child if they decide to run.

Folding

A three-wheel double buggy folds very easily to store it. There are options that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were the form of a pushchair) and others that pop out to reveal a more umbrella-style folding with a hand-operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy has the more comfortable it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than average - this will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your child will tip or flip over.
