3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. Many of these have an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movement over different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when going straight. You can also maneuver them more quickly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly they'll lose their stability and may be prone to tipping over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Find 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 such as rocks and sand. They'll also typically come with a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the correct geometry, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow agility and mobility 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're in search of a fabric sling, 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 - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over a Kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its product line with the eye-catching Citylife. The 3 wheel running buggy-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is suitable from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and uses a unique pewter black aluminium 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 spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a quick-release brake lever.

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road conditions in comparison to a model with four wheels however both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with larger front and rear wheels will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and can help you get up and down steep curbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant, and she said that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and gravel tracks, dirt roads, and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lightweight 3 wheel stroller 4-wheelers, but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a one-handed fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity it's compatible with all of the brand's infant car seats and strollers. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using only the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you reside.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you may want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres may be initially, but understanding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with 14 inches of rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also important. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many options for buggy designs to fit every budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in a three wheeler pushchairs-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering that fits comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to spread weight evenly to conquer bumps.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants from 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a buggy that can be easily pushed.

If you're planning to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best 3 Wheel stroller with car seat option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have an exclusive suspension system that has been independently tested across all terrains.
