Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children are able to push it. It is crucial to enjoy a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump in 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 have locking front wheels to help in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres that give you a great all-terrain adventure, but they could be susceptible to punctures, so ensure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, which are specifically designed to handle bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, however, you might feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable for your child's back if you decide to run.

In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more comfortable it will be to maneuver on rough terrain. This is particularly true if the wheels are larger than average - this will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your child will fall over or tip over.
