3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel baby buggy wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability with a stylish and sleek frame. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they can be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll find that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose their stability and fall over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rock and sand. They'll also usually come with the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of cloth they are typically 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 a smoother ride.

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact 3 wheel stroller' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a wide selection of 3 Wheel Running Buggy wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit into smaller space. Many can be folded with a single hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model, though both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels both front and back will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and can help you get up and down high curbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her infant, and she said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles gravel tracks, dirt roads and even 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 with the carrycot. It's a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. You can design your own travel system, whether you're planning to take a an easy stroll or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you may be interested in a 3 wheel double buggy-wheeler that has sturdier tires. You should also consider the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for ensuring safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall may be initially, but understanding it allows you to understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates 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 not sure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from 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 because it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and are lockable for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces easily.

There are many options for buggy designs to fit every budget and style of life. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to take on kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has a sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a variety of colours that will complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over 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-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is more easy to roll up and over curbs. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not over it as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily manoeuvred.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that 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 terrains.
