3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect 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 downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime easy to steer using just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be easy and light to handle. They also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

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

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats, but it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight 3 wheel buggy travel system and pushchair. The 3 wheeler pushchair off road (linked site)-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is compatible for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that is described by the brand as'slim and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit into smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as brake levers that are quick-release.

A small 3 wheel stroller-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in difficult places. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This allows you to push them over rough terrain and can help you get up and down the steep slopes.

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

Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires and three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

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

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a range of styles 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 last longer. The type you pick will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is important. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on an even and secure 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 of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are filled with air, and are able to be locked to provide stability while jogging are essential. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with perfect geometry and engineering that fits snugly inside the frame, instead of on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly to take on bumps.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze getting up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child as 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 get over curbs and climb up. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of over it as modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuverable.

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