3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability with a stylish and slim frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger, and they also often come with suspension for agile smooth movements on different terrains. The only drawback is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when going in a straight line and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you attempt to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and may fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like sand and rock. They'll also usually come with a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the correct geometry, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer with one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests 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 centre of gravity is closer to the floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over a kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its product line with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3 wheeler strollers-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 is described by the brand as'slim and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheeler pushchairs wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Certain models may come with large baskets and a brake lever that's quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions compared to a 4-wheeled model, though both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with larger front and rear wheels will assist. This allows them to push across rough terrain and is often helpful in moving up and down the high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her child, and she said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and dirt roads, gravel tracks and some hills."

Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air, offer an easy ride and excellent maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you live.

For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you might want to consider a 3 wheeled buggy-wheeler that has sturdier tires. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14 inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, slide the tires on the surface with a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

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

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for There are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to sitting on top like modular seats, providing a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials 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 choice. It comes in a variety of colours that will complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants from 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable, less likely for it to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to get over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear wheel. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
