Seats

Most 3 wheel pushchair off road wheel double buggies begin life as single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate the seat of a second person or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). Certain models let you add an extra board for older children who are able to walk, but still require assistance.

For a light-weight alternative that's ideal for urban streets, look into the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to move and has a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can accommodate twins starting at birth and can accommodate two car seats, or a carrycot that has a seat. The seats are required to be oriented forward and there's no room to store a bag of groceries underneath, so you'll need a sidepack for that.

If you like to take off-road trips then the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great option. It's a side by side model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy available. It is easier to get through narrow doors, on public transport and to climb over and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake that is attached to the adjustable handlebar for extra security and safety.

Suspension

The quality of the suspension on a 3 wheel pushchair off road-wheel double buggy is essential to how it is easy for you and your child to push. A smooth ride is essential as babies can feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's in rough terrain such as grass or unpaved paths. Some models come with locking front tires to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.

Some models come with air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain ride, but can be prone to punctures, therefore, make sure you have a spare set in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, specifically designed to handle bumps and are less susceptible to punctures, however, you may feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back when you decide to run.

Folding

A three-wheel double buggy can be folded easily for storage. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as though they were in the form of a pushchair) and others that open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding with the option of a hand-operated break. The more wheels a buggy has, in general the easier it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is particularly true when the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and make it less likely that your child will tip or flip over.

The iCandy Wave is a popular choice. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car-seat from birth and then converted into a double buggy side-by-side when your child is old.
