3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel double pushchair wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability with a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable starting at birth.

The wheels are larger and often come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as sand and rock. They'll also include a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

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

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat collection, but it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and is suitable from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has four wheels and uses a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will have an easy handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension and an extended 50+ UV canopy. Some models could have an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler pushchairs wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in tight places. But, picking a model that has larger wheels both front and back can help. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her baby and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills."

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot. It's a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and great manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you reside.

For example, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you may want to consider a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may be confusing until you get the hang of it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire that has a size of the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires across an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are filled with air, and are able to be locked to provide stability when running are important. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably 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 the best 3 wheel travel system weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports a sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes a light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat crib for babies and infants up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seat and a buggy that can be easily pushed.

If you want to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the best 3 wheel buggy option. It has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear. This allows you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However, not all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all kinds of terrain.
