3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and sleek frame. Many of these have a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect starting at birth.

The wheels are larger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line and you'll be able to maneuver them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel stroller set-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. These models also come with an adjustable wheel that locks in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over a kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are easy to wipe down. The smallest models will feature a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension or an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also have large, spacious baskets and a quick-release brake lever.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will assist. This makes them easier to push over uneven ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3 wheeler stroller-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby, and she said that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills."

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It is suitable from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in many styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example, offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Knowing how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can appear confusing until you get the hang of it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 indicates 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're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If the tires move easily they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also essential. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces easily.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any budget and style of life. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It has an elegant design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has 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 said 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 model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

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

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seating position and an automobile that is easily maneuvered.

If you're planning to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not 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 independently across all terrains.
