3 wheeled buggy Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability with a stylish and streamlined frame. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution and are suitable starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movements on different terrains. The only downside is that they may be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

three wheel buggies (click for info) are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and tip over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road routes as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually come with an adjustable front wheel that locks to give stability over rough ground.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of cloth they are typically smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring an easier ride.

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its range with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

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

The best 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, although both can get stuck in tight spots. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her baby and reported that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and dirt roads, gravel tracks, and some hills."

Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel stroller travel system wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 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 unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires across an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and are able to be locked to ensure stability while jogging are crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight easily to take on bumps.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of going up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not over it as modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily manoeuvred.

If you want to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It has a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear. This allows you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However, not all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
