The seats must face toward the forward direction and there isn't space to store bags of groceries under the seat. You will require an additional side bag.

Suspension

The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children can push it. It is crucial to enjoy a smooth ride since babies feel every bump in the road.

Some models also have locking front wheels to help with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models come with air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they might cause discomfort for your child if they decide to jog.

The more wheels the buggy has, generally, the easier it is to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than the average size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will have to flip or tip your child.
