Our test participant Claire was impressed by the neat packaging that was easy to open and found it one of the fastest and most simple pieces of baby equipment to put together. She tested it on rough terrain and was amazed by its performance.

Seats

The majority of triple buggies are initially single pushchairs. However, some can be converted to take a second seat or carrycot by converting adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an additional board for older children who are ready to walk, but need some help.

Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for an ideal, lightweight solution for urban streets. It's easy to move and comes with a deep basket that has plenty of storage space. It can be used to accommodate twins from birth and accept two car seats or an infant carrycot and seat. The seats are required to be oriented forward and there's no space for a shopping bag under, so you'll need a sidepack for that.

Mountain Buggy Duet will be an ideal choice If you like off-road driving. It's a side-by- tandem with the smallest footprint of any double buggy available. This allows it to pass through doors with narrow openings and on public transport, and also allows you to go up and down kerbs without much trouble. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake for security and safety.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double is a lightweight option that is suitable for twins or a toddler and a baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50+ sunshades.

This is especially helpful for parents with children in a car seat, since the frame can be fitted with a wedgie that allows for optimal lie-flat positioning, or car seat adapters to a wider range of brands.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is essential to how easy it will be for you and your baby to push. It is essential to have a smooth ride since babies feel every bump in the road. This is especially relevant if you drive on rough terrain like grass or roads that are not paved. Some models have locking front tires to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.

Some models have tyres with air filled that are great for all-terrain riding, but they are prone to punctures. Make sure you keep an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Others have foam or gel tyres, which are designed to withstand bumps and can be less susceptible to punctures, however, you may find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back should you decide to jog.

MFM reviewer Kath took the Urban Glide 2 through its tests with her infant and three years old son, and found it performed admirably on tricky terrain: "it navigated effortlessly over pavements that were bumpy and grassy cobbles, dirt tracks and cobbles with ease and was easy to manoeuvre around corners and get up and down kerbs. The 16" rear wheels, when combined with the lockable swivel wheels on the front, make it an extremely stable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 is loaded with features as well with a large basket with zip-top cover, large cushioned seat, 50+ UV hood and game-changing lights that are easy to use and recharge.

Folding

A 3 Wheel baby Buggy wheel double buggy can fold pretty easily to be stored. There are models that fold flat and stand up (as as if they were in a pushchair) as well as those that pop up to reveal a more umbrella-style fold with a hand-operated brake. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with the more comfortable it will be to handle on rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than the typical size. You will have more stability and it is less likely that you be forced to tip over or flip your child.

A popular choice is the iCandy Wave, which can be used from birth with an infant car seat and transforms into a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough to allow them to sit next to each one. It is a lightweight option that is simple to push. It also comes with a bumper bar as well as a raincover.

The Joie Evalite Duo, a stroller that is light enough to accommodate twins from birth and is world-facing with a lie-flat seat it's a different kind of stroller. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the extra seat but it still only weighs around 11kg so it's easy to move and lift.
