Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easy you and your child/children are able to push it. It is important to have a smooth ride, since babies feel every bump on the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain such as grass or roads that aren't paved. Some models also come with locking front wheels to help with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres which are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure you keep an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres that are designed to take the bumps and can be less prone to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back when you decide to run.
