3 wheel all terrain pushchair Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability with a stylish and sleek frame. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a cosy lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movement over various terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and could fall over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer 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 trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also come with a lockable front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a fabric sling, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up a kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its product line with the attractive Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with four wheels as well as an exclusive pewter-black aluminum frame, which the brand describes as'slim and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a wide selection of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smaller models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They could also come with large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3 wheel stroller reversible seat-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in tight spots. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can assist. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with 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 strollers-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her baby and said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads, and a few hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3 wheel stroller-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and great maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will depend on your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

For example, if you are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might want to consider a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be important. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can seem confusing initially, but decoding it allows you to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on an even 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 of a three-wheeled buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels which are filled with air and can be locked for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off roads with ease.

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric sits snug within the frame, as opposed to being on top of modular seats, offering an lower center 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 large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple handbrake that twists. 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 handled the terrain really well. She said 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 choice. It comes in a variety of colors that match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a range of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat mattress for babies and infants until 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable, 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 has lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and get up. The sling seat is affixed in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuverable.

If you're planning to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller option. It comes with an suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party on all kinds of terrain.
