Seats

Certain models let you add an extra board to older children who are able to walk but require assistance.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is essential to how it will be easy for you and your child to push. It is important to have a smooth ride, as babies can feel every bump in the road. This is particularly true if you are driving on rough terrain, such as grass or roads that aren't paved. Some models come with front tires that lock to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Certain models have air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures, so ensure you have spares 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, however they may cause discomfort for your child if you decide to jog.

Folding

There are models that fold flat and stand up (as though they were in a pushchair) and also are able to open up to reveal more umbrella-like folding that has a hand-operated break. In general, the more wheels a buggy has, the easier it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is particularly true when the wheels are bigger than average - this will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your child will fall over or tip over.
