3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution that is ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only downside is that they can be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you try to stop or turn suddenly they'll lose stability and can be prone to tipping over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They'll also typically include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 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 are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor and provides a more comfortable ride and less kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over the Kerb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and double pushchair 3 wheeler to its range with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels as well as an unique pewter-black frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies 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 feature an easy adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They could also come with an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The most reliable 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model but both may get stuck in tight corners. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can help. This allows them to push over rough ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and 3-year-old and said "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on a few hills."

Another option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand named Stella. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot and is a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 wheel stroller with car seat recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. You can design your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on shorter walk or take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will depend on your lifestyle and the place you reside.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might think about a 3-wheeler with sturdier tires. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also important. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing however, once you understand it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14 for instance indicates that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 with 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're not sure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to ensure stability when running are essential. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly to tackle the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by taking it for a walk through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and claimed 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 option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) that 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 and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child as 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 is therefore more easy to roll over curbs and up the stairs. The seats made of fabric are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and buggy that is easily moved.

If you're planning to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
