3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheeled pushchair wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability with a stylish and sleek frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, perfect from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rock and sand. They'll also typically have a lockable front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They also pass the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for 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 a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of 3 wheel double stroller wheel buggies that can be folded down to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models may have large baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler buggy wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, although both can be stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and gravel tracks, dirt roads and some hills."

Stella Stella, the 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheel stroller travel system recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brand's infant car seats and strollers. You can design your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a shorter walk or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for twin 3 wheel stroller wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each has its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide an easy ride and excellent maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can seem initially, but understanding it allows you to understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre with the size 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire that has a size of the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on an even and secure surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy will be capable of maneuvering off road surfaces with ease.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height to ensure optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by going for a ride through rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It can also be safer for your baby 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 easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and buggy that is easily moved.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited as it will have suspension 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 buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all kinds of terrain.
