3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of these have an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

The wheels are larger and typically have suspension to ensure smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't tip over more easily when going straight. They also allow you to maneuver faster. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and could fall over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Find models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like sand and rock. They'll also come with an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough ground.

With  3 wheeled pushchair , engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment's notice - easy to steer using just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be easy and light in handling. They will also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are in the market for a seat made of cloth they are typically smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly providing a smoother ride.

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will have a basic height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may have an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in difficult places. A model with larger rear and front wheels can assist. This makes them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down steep kerbs.

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

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an easy ride and excellent manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often, you might think about a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension that you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14 inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth and tied 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 3 wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also essential. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many options for buggy designs to fit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed with three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their fabric sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she found that it handled the terrain really well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes light work of climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a range of colors that will complement your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not on top of it like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

If you want to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It has 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 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a specially-designed suspension system that's been independently tested across all types of terrain.
