3 wheel double buggy Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often come with suspension for agile smooth movements on a variety of terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and can fall over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. They'll also usually include a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the correct geometry, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be effortless and light to handle. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing an easier ride.

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats However, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight 3 wheel stroller travel system and pushchair. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with 4 wheels and uses a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel pushchair wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller space. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature an easy adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may feature an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that's quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be better able to cope with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant, and she said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads, and a few hills."

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheeler pushchairs wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires 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 on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension that you require. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre can be important. Understanding how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may be confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radial with 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across a smooth surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled and that can be locked to ensure stability while jogging are important. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat sits snug within the frame, as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for the best weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It features an elegant design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its paces by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is more easy to roll over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have an exclusive suspension system that has been tested independently across all types of terrain.
