3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.

Stability

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

The extra wheel also helps you tackle off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. They'll also have the option of locking the front wheel to give stability over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 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 looking for a fabric sling seat, 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 which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over the kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat collection however, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 wheel buggy 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in tight spots. But, picking a model with larger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This allows them to push over uneven ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and her 3 wheel Umbrella stroller-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on some hills."

Another option is the latest all-terrain small 3 wheel stroller wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. You can create your own travel system, whether you want to go on shorter walk or a longer one, 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. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Consider the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Understanding the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can appear confusing however, once you understand it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre with a size of 185/70 R14 for instance indicates that it is a radial tire that has a size of the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires move easily, they are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheeled buggy wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also essential. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces easily.

Based on the type of buggy you're looking for 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 in a three-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to conquer kerbs.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she found that it handled the terrain really well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, 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 match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not on top of it like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
