3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution that is ideal from birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movements on a variety of terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rocks and sand. They'll also typically include an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing a smoother ride.

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the striking Citylife. This 3 wheel stroller travel system-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and 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 a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using just one hand, and are simple to wash down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight spots. But, picking a model with bigger wheels both front and back will help. This allows them to push over rough ground and is often helpful in moving up and down the high kerbs.

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

Stella Stella, the 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It is suitable from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it has air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you may think about a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. The suspensions that are strong are great to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewall of a tyre can seem confusing initially, but understanding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If the tires move 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 since it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to ensure stability while jogging are essential. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces easily.

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for There are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to take on bumps.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has a sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes a 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 will complement your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The seat made of fabric is inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies 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 independently tested across all types of terrain.
