3 Wheel Buggies

twin 3 wheel stroller wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution that is ideal from birth.

The wheels are larger and often have suspension to allow for smooth, agile movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have plenty of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over as easily when you are going straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and may tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rock and sand. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards globally and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair 3 wheels to its product line with the attractive Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has four wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models may have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheel travel Stroller-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight places. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This allows them to push across rough terrain and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3-year-old son and reported that "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on a few hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel double pushchair wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. You can build your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on an easy stroll or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example offer an easy ride and excellent manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might want to consider a 3-wheeler with sturdier tires. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the tyre's size. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire in the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggie. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to being on top of modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It features sleek design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by walking on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It can also be more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not on top of it like modular seats. This creates a low seating position, and a lighter double buggy 3 wheels that is more easily maneuverable.

However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited since it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party across all types of terrain.
