3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over different terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store & 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, and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Find models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rock and sand. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be effortless and light to handle. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a fabric seat, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing the smoothest ride.

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its range with the attractive Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

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

The best 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3 wheel running stroller-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model however both can get stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This allows you to push them over rough terrain and can help you get up and down high curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant, and she said that "it was very well-handled on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills."

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

Its main selling point is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a base.

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 offer a great performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension that you need. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is important. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 is a sign 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 are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel stroller cheap wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also essential. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed with three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with precise design and engineering to fit perfectly 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 another great option. It sports a sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by taking it for a walk through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks and makes it easy to 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 features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It also makes it 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, which makes it easier to get over curbs and walk up. The seats made of fabric are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seat position and buggy that is easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all kinds of terrain.
