3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheeler pushchair wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of them have seats made of fabric that have a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

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

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel double pushchair-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Find models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road trails, sand, mud, and other surfaces, such as rock and sand. These models will also have a lockable wheel in the front to improve stability on rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, 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 and provides a more comfortable ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over the curb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller space. They can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will come with a basic adjustable height of the handlebars, while others could have an adjustable suspension as well as an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in tight spots. But, picking a model with bigger wheels on both sides will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and 3-year-old and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer named Stella. It can be used from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it has air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you choose will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. 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 aspect to be considered is the tyre's size. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may be confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having 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 are unsure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to ensure stability while jogging are crucial. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are a variety of buggy styles that will suit any budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to take on the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features an elegant design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it handled the terrain really well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes light work of getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a variety of colours that match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It can also be safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the double pushchair 3 wheeler.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity, making it more easy to roll up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as 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 kinds of terrain.
