Stroller suspension

PKDs mom

I've noticed some 3-wheeled strollers have front wheel suspension and others have rear suspension.  I guess ideally all-wheel suspension would be best, however I haven't seen a 3-wheeler with both yet.  I'm wondering if anyone knows which type of suspension is best, or has a preference. Specifically, I'm looking at the Bumbleride Indie (rear susp) and the Baby Jogger Elite (front susp).  Thanks

The Baby Jogger Summit has suspension on all three wheels.  It's the same price as the Elite, has a hand brake and is a bit more rugged.

I'm not sure. When we were looking at strollers the boutique owner told us that rumor in the industry is that all 3 wheeled strollers will be required to under go "tip testing" within a year and so far none of the existing 3 wheeled strollers can pass the test ... which means they will be recalled or discontinued. Apparently this is also why Easywalker (one of the best jogging strolllers) went from the 3 wheeled Sky model to the 4 wheeled QTRO model last year to be ahead of the changes. I think she said 50 lbs of pressure will be put on the front wheels of the stroller and it has to stay on all wheels without lifting from the ground or something.

That makes complete sense to me then- no wonder I'm having such a hard time finding a 3-wheeled stroller!  I ended up finding a discontinued model (Teutonia 250).  I had a city mini, but it almost tipped over twice.  Thanks so much for the info on that!!!
