Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children are able to push it. It is crucial to have a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump on the road. This is particularly true if you are driving on rough terrain like grass or unpaved roads. Certain models also have locking front wheels to help with maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Some models use air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain ride, but can be susceptible to punctures, therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, however they might be uncomfortable for your child if they decide to jog.
