3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have great maneuverability. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and often include suspension to allow for smooth movement on a variety of terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be more bulky and heavy to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line, and you'll be able to maneuver them more quickly and efficiently. If you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and can tip over. To avoid this, some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Choose models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.

With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be effortless and light to handle. They will also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're in search of a fabric sling, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up a kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its product line with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is compatible for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame, which the brand describes as'slim and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others have 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 most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. But, picking a model that has larger wheels on both sides will help. This makes them easier to push over uneven ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three wheel pushchairs-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and 3-year-old son and reported that "it is very well-handled over cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks, as well as on a few hills."

Another alternative is the new 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 3 wheel stroller 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you want to go on an easy stroll or take a longer stroll, 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, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might want to consider a 3 wheel push chair-wheeler with sturdier tires. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may be confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. For example, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14 inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires move easily they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to ensure stability when running are essential. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight easily to take on the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has a sleek design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its tests by walking on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a variety of colours that match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It can also be safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and get up. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position, and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all terrains.
