3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and sleek frame. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and usually have suspension to ensure smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are going straight. You can also manoeuvre them more quickly. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and could fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheeled buggies-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. These models also come with an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime - easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be easy and light in handling. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range However, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and is compatible from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel double pushchair 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 smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in difficult places. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will assist. This allows them to push over uneven ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her child and 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 baby stroller wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand which is called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in many styles and materials. Each has its own 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 select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can seem confusing initially, but understanding it allows you to understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on an even surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also crucial. This will allow your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many choices for buggy designs to fit every budget and style of life. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to tackle bumps.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by going for a ride on a rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well and said that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier 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 buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to lift up and over curbs. The seats made of fabric are placed inside the frame rather than on top 3 wheel strollers of it like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a buggy that can be easily pushed.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is more suitable as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
