3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, agile moving on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line, and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you attempt to stop or turn suddenly, they'll lose stability and could tip over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces like rocks and sand. They'll also usually have the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over the Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat collection However, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair 3 wheels. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest 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 could have a large basket and a brake lever that's quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain in comparison to a model with four wheels but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will help. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and can help you get up and down steep curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and her 3 wheel umbrella stroller-year-old, and said "it handles really well over bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks, as well as on a few hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3 Wheel tandem Stroller-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 3 wheel stroller 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Consider the kind of suspension you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is the tyre's size. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall can seem initially, but understanding it allows you to understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has 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, try sliding the tires across an even surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are filled with air, and are able to be locked to provide stability when jogging are also essential. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces with ease.

There are many options for buggy designs to fit every budget and style of life. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to spread weight evenly to conquer bumps.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of going 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 colors that match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop up and over curbs. The seat made of fabric is inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested independently across all kinds of terrain.
