The seats are required to be oriented forward and there's no room for a shopping bag underneath and you'll need a backpack for this.

This allows it to squeeze through doors that are narrow and on public transport, and also allows you to go up and down kerbs without much trouble. The adjustable handlebar comes with an integrated handbrake to increase security and safety.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that can be used by twins or a baby and toddler.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3 wheel double buggy is vital to how easy it will be for you and your baby to push. A smooth ride is crucial as babies can feel every bump on the road, especially if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Certain models also have front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.

Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they are prone to punctures. Make sure you keep a spare set of tyres in your trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres that are specifically designed to handle bumps and are less prone to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you choose to jog.

The more wheels the buggy has, generally, the easier it is to maneuver on rough terrain. This is particularly relevant if the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and decrease the likelihood that your children are likely to tip over or fall over.
