3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over different terrains. The only drawback is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and can be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional 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 known as 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, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over a Kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its range with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. 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. Certain models may come with large baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in tight places. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can help. This allows you to push them over rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and reported that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable from birth if used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

Its main selling feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. You can build your own travel system, whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide an easy ride and excellent maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in a 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing however, once you understand it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. A tyre with the size 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 with a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across a smooth surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and lockable to ensure stability while jogging is crucial to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every budget and style of life. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats 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 allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight evenly to tackle 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 a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of going up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also select from a range of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a cosy lie flat crib for babies and infants that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seats are built into the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates a low seat position and buggy that is easily moved.

If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that 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 kinds of terrain.
