Suspension

The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel pushchairs wheel double buggy is crucial to how it will be easy for you and your child to push.

Some models have air-filled tyres that are great for all-terrain rides, but they are prone to punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres which are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may cause discomfort for your child should you decide to run.
