Seats
Most 3 wheel all terrain buggy wheel double buggies start life as single pushchairs. However, some can be converted to take the seat of a second person or carrycot using adapters (these are typically more common in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an extra board to older children who are able to walk, but require a little help.
For a lightweight option that's great for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It is easy to maneuver, and it has a large basket with lots of storage. It can accommodate twins as young as birth and accept two car seats or an infant carrycot and seat. However, the seats have to face forwards and there's no room to store a bag of groceries underneath and you'll need a sidepack for this.

It is easier to get through narrow doors, on public transport and to climb over and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted for more security and safety.

Suspension
The suspension of a double 3-wheel buggy will determine the ease with which your child/children and you can push it. It is crucial to have a smooth ride since babies feel every bump on the road. This is especially true if you are driving on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models come with locking front tires that aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they can be prone punctures. Make sure you have a spare set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, designed to take the bumps and are less prone to punctures however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back should you decide to run.

The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general the easier it will be to maneuver on rough terrain. This is particularly true if your wheels are larger than average size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you will need to flip or tip your child.
