3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement over different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel infant stroller-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also feature a lockable wheel in the front to improve the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling. They will also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over a Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat collection however, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn 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 only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a wide selection of 3 wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler pushchairs wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model, though both may get stuck in tight corners. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This makes them easier to push over uneven ground and will often help with moving up and down the high kerbs.

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

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

Its main selling feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the brands' infant strollers and car seats. You can build your own travel system, whether you want to go on an easy stroll or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel jogger wheel buggies are available in many styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air, offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

For example, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. You should also consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre can be important. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire in the 185/70 size 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 whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. A large wheel that are ideally air-filled and lockable to provide stability when jogging also important as this will ensure that your buggy is able to navigate off road surfaces easily.

There are many options for buggy styles to suit every budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to being on top of modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It sports an elegant design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to suit your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to get over curbs and walk up. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all types of terrain.
