3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel stroller for running wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of these feature a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically have suspension to ensure smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they can be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. If you turn or stop abruptly, they may lose stability and tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

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

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over a curb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its product line with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can fit into smaller spaces. They can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as in comparison to a model with four wheels but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can aid. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and will help you get up and down the steep slopes.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3-year-old and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on some hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' car seats and strollers 3 wheels for infants. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in many styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Think about the kind of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be important. Knowing how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing until you get the hang of it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 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, try sliding the tires on an even surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off roads with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports a sleek design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its tests by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably and said that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It also makes it safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is more easy to roll up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with an exclusive suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
