3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and often come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order 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 known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also usually include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of cloth they are typically smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring a smoother ride.

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat collection however, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. The 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-in-1 model was designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with four wheels and an exclusive pewter-black aluminum frame, which the brand describes as'slim and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can fit into smaller spaces. Many can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as in comparison to a model with four wheels, though both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with larger front and rear wheels will help. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and can help in getting up and down high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her baby and said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks and even some hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel double buggy 3 wheels by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it has air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a one-handed fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' infant strollers and car seats. You can design your own travel system, no matter if you're looking to go for a an easy stroll or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel stroller for running wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you pick will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often, you might be interested in a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling 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 how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing initially, but decoding it allows you to understand the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre 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're unsure whether the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across an even surface. If the tires move easily, they are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel push chair wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and are lockable for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

There are many options for buggy styles to suit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with precise geometry and engineering that fits snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to spread weight evenly to conquer the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It has an elegant design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of going up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option 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 pick from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The seats made of fabric are positioned inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This results in a lower seat position and buggy that is easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
