3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and sleek frame. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal for babies from the age of.

The wheels are bigger and often have suspension to ensure smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and can be prone to tipping over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheeler pushchair wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand, and mud. These models also come with wheels that lock on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the correct geometry, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment's notice - easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheel that allows 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're in search of a fabric sling seat, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over the curb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seats however, it recently expanded its product line 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 comes with 4 wheels and uses a unique pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away 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 a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will assist. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and will assist you in climbing up and down the steep slopes.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her infant and said that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and even a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheel compact stroller-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel stroller brands wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials. Each comes with 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 kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you may want to consider a twin 3 wheel stroller-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre can be important. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for ensuring safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall can seem initially, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre with a size of 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire with a diameter of the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made from PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential 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 air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging are essential. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for, there are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its tests by walking on a rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy 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 choice. It comes in a range 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 variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns or babies until 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seat position and buggy that is easily moved.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is better suited since it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all types of terrain.
