3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. Many of these have a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution, and are perfect for babies from the age of.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movement on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you turn or stop abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. To avoid this, some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. They'll also usually have a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center 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 effort to get the double buggy 3 wheels up and over the curb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is compatible from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a wide selection of 3 wheel compact stroller wheel buggies that fold up to fit into smaller space. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They could also come with large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road conditions compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can get stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model that has larger wheels on both sides will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down steep curbs.

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

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires and three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a smooth ride and great manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre 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 decoding it allows you to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having an 185/70 size R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire in 185/70 and has 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on an even surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel double buggy 3 wheels makes it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels which are filled with air and can be locked to provide stability when jogging crucial to ensure your buggy is able to navigate off road surfaces with ease.

There are many choices for buggy designs to fit every budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight easily to tackle bumps.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a variety of colors that will complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the 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 dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seats made of fabric are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seat and buggy that is easily pushed.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the best option. It has a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear wheel. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all kinds of terrain.
