3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have outstanding maneuverability. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution and are ideal for babies from the age of.

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

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Find models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. These models will also have wheels that lock in the front to improve stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a fabric sling, 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 a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up a curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3 wheel double buggy-in-1 model is designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that the brand calls'slim and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many can be folded with a single hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down steep curbs.

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

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand 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 for 3 wheel buggies are offered in many styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air, offer a smooth ride and great maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you pick will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is crucial. Knowing how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can be at first, but decoding it helps you 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 185/70 and has 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, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily they are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

the best 3 wheel stroller suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to provide stability when running are crucial. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces easily.

Based on the type of buggie you're looking for, there are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed with three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to sitting on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It features sleek design, a big wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it handled the terrain really well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes a light work of going up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also pick 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 comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll over curbs and up the stairs. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best 3 wheel stroller with car seat option. It has a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested independently across all terrains.
