3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel double buggy wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, slim frame. Many of these have an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be more bulky and heavy to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer a lot of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over more easily when going straight. You can also manoeuvre more swiftly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve 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 tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also typically have a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be easy and light in handling. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

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 floor and provides a more comfortable ride and less kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the curb).

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

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies that can be folded down to can fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature a simple height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a quick-release brake lever.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheeler will typically be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels both front and back will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down high curbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3 wheel baby buggy-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and 3 wheeled pushchair-year-old and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on some hills."

Another option is the latest 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand named Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity, though it's compatible with all the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can create your own travel system, whether you're looking to go for a a short walk or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in many styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall may be initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 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 not sure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. A large wheel that are air-filled, and are lockable to provide stability when jogging essential to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

There are a variety of buggy styles that will suit any budget and lifestyle. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, offering the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she found that it handled the terrain really well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a range of colors that match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of over it as modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is better suited as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain 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 independently across all types of terrain.
