3 wheel twin stroller Wheel Buggies
Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect from birth.
The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.
Stability
Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line, and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and may fall over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.
You can also tackle 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 and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. These models also come with wheels that lock on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.
With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer with one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be effortless and easy to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.
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.
Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light double pushchair 3 wheeler and travel system to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.
Folding
There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They could also come with an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.
The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain
A 3-wheeler will typically be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This allows them to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in moving up and down the high 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 has tested it with her child, and she said that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and even a few hills."
Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand which is called Stella. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 3 Wheel buggy 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires and three recline positions and a single-hand fold.
Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. 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 of best 3 wheel travel system wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.
If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.
The size of the tyre is also crucial. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall can be at first, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having an 185/70 size R14 for instance indicates that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 and has 14-inch rim diameter.
PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily they are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.
Suspension
The suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also essential. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.
There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, providing a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height to ensure optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.
Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes light work of going up and down 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 features an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns until 12 months old.
Safety
The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.
A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to pop up and over curbs. The seat made of fabric is inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.
However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited since it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, 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.
