3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of these have an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually have suspension to allow for smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only downside is that they may be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line. Also, 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. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as rocks and sand. They'll also usually come with a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric that are breathable, they tend to be smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly providing the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat collection, but it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded down to can fit into smaller spaces. They can be folded with one hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The best 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3 wheeler buggy-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. A model with larger rear and front wheels can help. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and 3 wheel bassinet stroller-year-old and said "it handles really well over bumpy pavements, cobbles, gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on some hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3 wheel baby strollers-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 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 brand's infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on a short walk or a longer one by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered 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 of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often, you might want to consider a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing at first, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14 for instance, means 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 also lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over an even and secure surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy makes it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Having large wheels, that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces with ease.

There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to conquer bumps.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It features an elegant design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by walking on a rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to 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 match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and walk up. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not over it as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuverable.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has a suspension system which allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all terrains.
