3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have outstanding maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and typically have suspension to ensure smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have a lot of stability. They don't fall over as easily when you are going straight. They also allow you to maneuver faster. 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 parent facing pushchair-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

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 the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric they are typically lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring a smoother ride.

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. The model is designed for urban living and is suitable from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 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 are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will have a basic adjustable height of the handlebars, while others could have an adjustable suspension as well as an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 Wheel Baby Buggy wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in difficult spots. A model with larger rear and front wheels can assist. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and 3 wheel tandem stroller-year-old son and reported that "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on some hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel running buggy wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital for ensuring safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall can seem initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having an 185/70 size R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire with a diameter of the 185/70 size 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're unsure whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires slide smoothly and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, that are air-filled, and can be locked for stability during jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the type of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect, their fabrics sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, providing a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It has a sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its paces by going for a ride on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and said that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a range of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat crib for babies and infants up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and climb up. The sling seat is affixed in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

However, if you'd like to go for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels 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 tested independently on all terrains.
