3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. A lot of them have an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable for babies from the age of.

The wheels are bigger and usually have suspension to ensure smooth, swift mobility on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and efficiently. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheeler buggies-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you tackle off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually have a lockable front wheel to provide stability on rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the curb).

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

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded down to can fit into 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. Some models may have an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that's quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This makes them easier to push over rough ground and is often helpful in getting up and down high kerbs.

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

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheeler pushchair wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials. Each comes with 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 depend on your lifestyle and the place you live.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can be initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius 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 the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on an even surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability when running are crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces 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 in a three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly to tackle bumps.

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

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a variety of colors that will match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into 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

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly across 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 fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it will have 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 buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party on all types of terrain.
