Suspension
The suspension of a triple wheeled buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children can push it.

Some models have front tires that lock to aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models have air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, but they can be prone punctures. Be 3 wheeler pushchair to keep a spare set of tyres inside the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they might cause discomfort for your child should you decide to run.
