3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid moving on different terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling 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 may be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their lightweight 3 wheel buggy-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road paths as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also usually have the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly providing the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat collection However, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with four wheels as well as an exclusive pewter-black aluminum frame that is described by the brand as'slim and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller space. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature a basic adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may have an adjustable suspension and an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with larger rear and front wheels can aid. This makes them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and her 3 wheel stroller-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a single-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel double stroller wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre with an 185/70 size R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 with 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 if the tires on a pushchair are 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 they don't then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also important. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering that fits snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly to conquer kerbs.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and found that it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of going up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to complement your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month 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 throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuverable.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
