3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movement on various terrains. The only drawback is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't tip over more easily when moving straight. They also allow you to maneuver them more quickly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 Wheel Reversible Stroller-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like sand and rock. They'll also usually include a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor which means a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is best 3 wheel travel system known for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of 3 wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. Many can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will come with a basic handlebar height adjustment, while others could have an adjustable suspension or an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also have large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in tight spots. A model with larger front and rear wheels will assist. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on a few hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means you can build 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 are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you choose will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three wheel pushchairs-wheeler with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is important. Knowing how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having an 185/70 size R14 for instance, means 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 also 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 the surface with a smooth surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked to provide stability when jogging also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces easily.

Depending on the type of buggy you're looking for There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat is tucked away inside the frame as opposed to being on top of modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its paces by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks, 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 complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly 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 buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It is also safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than sitting on top 3 wheel strollers like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

If you're planning to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four-wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all types of terrain.
