3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movement on a variety of terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when going in a straight line. Also, you'll be able to move them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and tip over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. These models also come with an adjustable wheel that locks on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a seat made of cloth that are breathable, they tend to be less upright in comparison 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 3 wheel travel system known for its car seats However, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and is suitable from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will come with a simple height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature a large, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight places. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three wheeler pushchairs-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her child and reported that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces, dirt roads, gravel tracks and a few hills."

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on shorter walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres, offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you might be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. You should also consider the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also important. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing however, once you understand it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14 inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over an even and secure surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they don't then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

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

There are many options for buggy styles that will suit any budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility with three wheeled buggies-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with precise design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to tackle kerbs.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple twist handbrake. 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 was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles, 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 comes in a variety of colours that match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat crib for babies and infants from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable, less likely for it to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and walk up. The seats of the fabric sling are built into the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seat and buggy that is easily pushed.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
