3 Wheel Buggies

lightweight 3 wheel buggy wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. A lot of them come with seats made of fabric that have a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal from birth.

The wheels are bigger and often come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel stroller set-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces such as rocks and sand. They'll also typically come with a lockable front wheel to provide stability on rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They also meet the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you are in the market for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring the smoothest ride.

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

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

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be better able to cope with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, although both can be stuck in tight spots. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down steep curbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and said that "it was very well-handled on cobbles, bumpy surfaces dirt roads, gravel tracks and even a few hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3 wheel pushchair cheap-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheel stroller brands recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. You can create your own travel system, whether you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel pushchairs wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. 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.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across 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-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. A large wheel that are air-filled, and can be locked to provide stability when jogging also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame as opposed to being on top of modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also comes with a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements dirt tracks, and can be a breeze getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It is also safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seats are built into the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seating position and buggy that is easily moved.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it has 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 are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all terrains.
