3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of these feature a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid movement on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel stroller set-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces such as rocks and sand. They'll also typically include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

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

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, these tend to be 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 a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the curb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its product line with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels as well as a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded down to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. They can be folded with one hand and are easy to wash down. Some of the smaller models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Some models could have large baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

A 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as 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 over uneven ground and will often help with moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and her 3-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3 wheel running stroller-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it has air-filled tires and three wheeled buggies recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all the brand's infant car seats and strollers. You can design your own travel system, whether you're looking to go for a an easy stroll or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in many styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might think about a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre with a size of 185/70 R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire in 185/70 and has 14-inch rim size.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is crucial to ensure your buggy is able to navigate off road surfaces easily.

There are many options for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their fabric sling seat is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its trials by walking on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to 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

The presence of four wheels makes a buggy much more stable and less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seat position and a buggy that can be easily moved.

If you're looking to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller (Web Site) option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all types of terrain.
