Seats
Most 3 wheel double buggies are designed as single pushchairs. Some models can be modified to accept the second seat using adapters. There are also models allow you to include a ride-onboard for older children who want to walk but still need some help.
Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ultra-lightweight option that is perfect for urban streets. It's easy to maneuver and comes with a large basket that has plenty of storage space. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and accepts two car seats, or a carrycot with a seat. The seats must face toward the forward direction and there isn't space to store an item under the seat. You will require a sidepack.
If you're looking to go off-road and off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a good option. It is a side by side model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy on the market. It's much easier to get through narrow doors on public transport, and to climb over and up kerbs. It also has a handbrake that is attached to the adjustable handlebar for extra security and safety.
Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used for twins or a toddler and baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50plus sunshades.

The Vista 2 can even be transformed into a triple using the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board for older and mobile children.
The iCandy Orange is one of the most popular double buggies on the market because of its exceptional comfort. It's an all-terrain model with soft suspension that can easily handle bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate up to 30 seating configurations, and includes a built-in ride-on for older kids who prefer walking and a 'cinema seating' mode that raises the back of the seat to improve visibility.
The phil&teds dots are fantastic single buggys that are easily modified to accommodate two (or three!) different configurations. This is particularly helpful for parents with children in a car seat, as the frame can be fitted with a wedgie for optimum lying flat, or car seat adapters for many brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easy your child/children and you can push it. A smooth ride is vital as babies can feel every bump on the road, especially if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Some models come with front tires that lock to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled which are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure you keep a spare set of tyres in the trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres that are designed to withstand bumps and are less prone to punctures but you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back should you decide to jog.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Urban Glide 2 through its paces with her newborn and 3 years old, and found that it performed admirably on tricky terrain: "it navigated effortlessly over grass and bumpy pavements dirt tracks, cobbles and cobbles with ease and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and get up and down kerbs. It's even very pleasant to jog on, thanks to the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheel giving you a stable running experience." The Urban Glide 2 has a lot of features, such as large seats with a padded cover, hood with 50+ UV protection and rechargeable and easy-to use visibility lights.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy could be folded easily for storage. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as as if they were in a pushchair) and also those that pop open to reveal more of an umbrella-style fold with a hand-operated brake. In general, the more wheels a buggy comes with, the easier it will be to maneuver on rough terrain. This is especially relevant if the wheels are larger than the average. This will give you more stability and reduce the chance that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.
The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used with an infant car-seat from birth and then converted to a double buggy after your child has reached the age of. It's a lightweight option that is easy to push. It also comes with a bumper bar as well as a raincover.
Another option is the phil&teds sport, which is future proof because it's a fantastic single buggy from day one and then adjusts to accommodate 2 (or even 3!)

This allows you to have the best of both worlds.
