Suspension
The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is essential to how it will be easy for you and your baby/s to push. It is crucial to have a smooth ride as babies can feel every bump in the road.

Others have foam or gel tyres that are specifically designed to handle bumps and are less prone to punctures, however, you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child’s back should you decide to jog.

This will provide you with more stability and make it less likely that your child will tip or flip over.
