However, some models can be converted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an additional board for older kids who are ready to walk, but require a little help.

It can accommodate twins from birth and accept two car seats or seats and a carrycot.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a 3-wheel double buggy is vital to how it is easy for you and your child to push.

Certain models also have front wheels that lock to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres which are ideal for all-terrain riding, however they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, which are designed to take the bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, but you might find them a little stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back if you decide to run.
