3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, slim frame. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they could be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line, and you'll find that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheeled strollers-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually have an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then these tend to be 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 less kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the attractive Citylife. This 3 wheel baby strollers-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheel buggies (click this link now) that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others may have an adjustable suspension and an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. However, selecting a model with larger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3 wheel tandem stroller-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and 3-year-old son and reported that "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on some hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel stroller travel system wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand named Stella. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a one-handed fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all of the brand's infant car seats and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability when running are essential. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces easily.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to being on top of modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

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

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity, making it more easy to roll up and over curbs. The seats of the fabric sling are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a buggy that can be easily moved.

If you're looking to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear wheel. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all terrain 3 wheel stroller terrains.
