Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a triple buggy is crucial to how it is easy for you and your baby to push. A smooth ride is essential because babies feel every bump in the road, especially when it's on rough terrain like grass or paths that aren't paved. Certain models also have locking front wheels to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures, so make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres which are designed to absorb bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may cause discomfort for your child if you decide to run.

Folding

The more wheels a buggy has, in general, the easier it is to maneuver on rough terrain. This is particularly applicable when the wheels are bigger than the average. This will give you more stability and make it less likely that your children will tip or flip over.
