3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movement on various terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are driving straight. They also allow you to maneuver them more quickly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. For this reason, some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheeled travel system wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, 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 - instantly delivering a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the striking Citylife. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is compatible for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and a unique pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit into smaller space. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Some models may have large baskets and a brake lever that's quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-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 aid. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3 wheeled pushchair-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her infant, and she said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and a few hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel running buggy wheel buggy (enbbs.instrustar.Com) from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It is suitable from birth when used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires and three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs 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 of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. 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 can be important. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing until you get the hang of it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. A tyre with an 185/70 size R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire in 185/70 and has a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and lockable for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy is able to navigate off road surfaces with ease.

Based on the type of buggie you're looking for, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It sports an elegant design, a huge wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and found that it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes light work of getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the stylishly 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 a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It can also be safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center 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 results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all terrains.
