3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of these have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution and are suitable for babies from the age of.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movement over various terrains. The only downside is that they may be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have lots of stability. They don't tip over more easily when going straight. You can also manoeuvre more swiftly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and can be prone to tipping over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. These models will also have wheels that lock in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over the curb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 4 wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel running buggy wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will feature an easy handlebar height adjustment, while others may have an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model, though both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with larger front and rear wheels will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will help you get up and down steep curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3 wheel pushchair sale-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks, as well as on a few hills."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy - visit my web page, from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi, called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot and is a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheeled buggy recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're looking to go for a 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 has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is the tyre's size. Understanding how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can seem initially, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has 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 of a pushchair are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across a smooth surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off roads with ease.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking There are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its trials by going for a ride on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well, saying that it "navigates over bumpy grass, sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It can also be 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 climb over curbs and walk up. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best 3 wheel pushchair option. It comes with an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear wheel. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
