It can accommodate twins from at birth and will accept two car seats or a carrycot with a seat. However, the seats need to face forwards and there's no space for a shopping bag under, so you'll need a sidepack for this.

Suspension

The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children are able to push it. It is crucial to enjoy a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump in the road. This is particularly true if you are driving on rough terrain like grass or roads that aren't paved. Some models come with locking front tires that help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.

Some models have air-filled tyres which are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure 3 wheeler pushchair keep an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres which are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may cause discomfort for your child if they choose to jog.
