3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, slim frame. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically have suspension to allow for smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide lots of stability. They don't fall over more easily when moving straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually have the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment's notice easy to steer with just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be easy and light in handling. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring an easier ride.

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats However, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and uses a unique pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact'. It's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will have a basic height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others could have an adjustable suspension and an extended 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheeler will typically be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in difficult spots. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can assist. This allows them to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

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

Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel stroller for running wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 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 of the brands' car seats and strollers for infants. You can build 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 buggies are available in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For instance, if are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you might think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. A strong suspension is ideal to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're not sure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an essential component to look for because it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging are crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to conquer kerbs.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of getting up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a buggy that can be easily moved.

However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all kinds of terrain.
