3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. Many of these have a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

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

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and tip over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as 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 over rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor which means a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up the kerb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. They can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They could also come with an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler pushchair wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in tight places. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can aid. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down high curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on some hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheeled pushchairs-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres, three wheel pushchairs recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can build your own travel system, whether you want to go on an easy stroll or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres, offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you may want to consider a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres may be initially, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire in 185/70 and has 14-inch rim size.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over an even and secure surface. If the tires move easily they are made of PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and are lockable for stability during jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy will be capable of maneuvering off road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the type of buggy you're looking for, there are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to being on top of modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports an elegant design, a huge wheel that's easy to move and comes with a superb suspension. It also features the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by walking on rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, 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 comes in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into a 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

Having four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It also makes it more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and walk up. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of over it as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuverable.

If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear wheel. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party on all kinds of terrain.
