3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when they're in a straight line and you'll find that you can move them more quickly and easily. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and may tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand and mud. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime - easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with four wheels as well as an unique pewter-black frame, which the brand describes as'slim' and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheel buggies that can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded with one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature a basic adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may have an adjustable suspension as well as an extended 50+ UV canopy. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that's quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in tight spots. But, picking a model that has larger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This will make it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down steep curbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3 wheel pushchair cheap-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and her 3-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on a few hills."

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

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all the brand's infant car seats and strollers. You can design your own travel system, whether you're planning to take a a short walk or take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you need. Strong suspension is useful 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. Understanding the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the tyre's sidewall might be confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across an even surface. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also crucial. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three wheeler pushchairs-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight evenly to conquer kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It features sleek design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its tests by taking it for a walk through rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles 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 choice. It comes in a variety of colours that match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat crib for babies and infants up to 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over 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 also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
