3 Wheel Buggies

three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them have seats made of fabric that have a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often come with suspension for agile smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are going straight. You can also maneuver faster. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and may be prone to tipping over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also have an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards globally and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, then these tend to be placed 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 less kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over the kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat collection, but it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3 wheel buggy-in-1 is ideal for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels as well as an unique pewter-black 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. Many can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wipe 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 an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3 wheel buggy-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels both front and back can help. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and reported that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks and some hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it has air-filled tires, three recline positions, and an easy fold with one hand.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheeled travel system wheel buggies are available in a variety of designs and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will depend on your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the tyre's size. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing at first, 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 radius with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on the surface with a smooth surface. If the tires slide smoothly they are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and lockable to provide stability when jogging essential to ensure that your buggy will be able to navigate off road surfaces with ease.

Based on the type of buggy you're looking for, there are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering that fits snugly inside the frame, rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to take on the kerbs.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns or babies from 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and get up. the best 3 wheel stroller seats of the fabric sling are built into the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seat and buggy that is easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party across all kinds of terrain.
