3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability with a stylish and slim frame. Many of these have an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger and often have suspensions for smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are going straight. You can also maneuver them more quickly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and could tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. They'll also typically include a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

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 center of gravity is closer to the floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the Kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel stroller and car seat wheel buggies that fold down to fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Certain models may come with a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in tight spots. A model with larger rear and front wheels can help. This allows them to push over uneven ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and 3-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 Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheel pushchair travel system recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide a smooth ride and great maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is important. Understanding the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can be confusing initially, but decoding it helps you understand 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.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires across a smooth surface. If the tires move easily they are made of PU. If not, 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 bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to provide stability while jogging are important. This will allow your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Based on the type of buggy you're looking for, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all terrain 3 wheel stroller-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to being on top of modular seats, offering the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months 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 baby as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and walk up. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

If you want to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear wheel. This allows you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have an exclusive suspension system that has been tested independently across all kinds of terrain.
