3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they can be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could 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 also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road trails, sand, mud, and other surfaces such as rocks and sand. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability over rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be effortless and light in handling. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing an easier ride.

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seats, but it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame, which the brand describes as'slim' and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies (news) that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will come with an easy adjustable height of the handlebars, while others could have an adjustable suspension and an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheeler stroller-wheeler is likely to be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in tight spots. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back can help. This makes them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down steep kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her infant, and she said that "it was very well-handled on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and gravel tracks, dirt roads, and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheel double pushchair-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 wheel stroller recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. This means you can create your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you pick will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you require. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewall of a tyre can be initially, but understanding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled 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 can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also important. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, instead of on top 3 wheel strollers like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to take on bumps.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it handled the terrain really well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze going up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a range of colors that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip and easier to handle. 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 has lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and climb 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 can be easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited since it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one which allows you to navigate 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 since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
