3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movements on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

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

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces like rocks and sand. These models also come with wheels that lock in the front to improve the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're in search of a fabric 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 ground which means a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are easy to wash down. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature a large, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in difficult places. A model with larger front and rear wheels will aid. This allows you to push them over rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and 3-year-old son and reported that "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on a few hills."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheel stroller For newborn recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a shorter walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel stroller with car seat wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might want to consider a 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheeler that has sturdier tires. You should also think about the type of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 with 14-inch rim size.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child as it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and lockable to provide stability when jogging essential to ensure that your buggy is able to navigate off road surfaces easily.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat sits snug within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, providing an lower center of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for the best weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to move and comes with a superb suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze going up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants until 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and walk up. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seat and a buggy that can be easily pushed.

If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best 3 wheel stroller option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear. This allows you to tackle rough terrains 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 independently tested across all types of terrain.
