3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are ideal from birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movements on a variety of terrains. The only downside 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 four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and can be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also feature wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a cloth sling, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over a Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat collection, but it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3 wheel buggy-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies that can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. They can be folded with just one hand, and are easy to wash down. The smallest models will have a simple height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They could also come with an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in difficult spots. A model with larger front and rear wheels will aid. This allows you to push them over rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.

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 out with her child and reported that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces, gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheel running buggy-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers 3 wheels and car seats. You can create your own travel system, whether you're looking to go for a a short walk or a longer one by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel running buggy wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often, you might think about a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Think about the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is crucial. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall can seem initially, but understanding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire in 185/70 with 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, slide the tires across an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and are able to be locked to provide stability when running are crucial. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for, there are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its trials by walking through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

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

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not on top of it like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

If you want to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all kinds of terrain.
