3 Wheel Buggies

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

The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only drawback is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide plenty of stability. They don't fall over as easily when driving straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and may fall over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road paths as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. They'll also typically include an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability on rough terrain.

With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be effortless and light to handle. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric 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 best known for its car seats however, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. The 3 wheel strollers-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is compatible starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They could also come with large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheel baby buggy wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in difficult places. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can aid. This allows you to push them over rough terrain, and can help you get up and down steep curbs.

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

Another option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction 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, 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' infant strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're looking to go for a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer a great performance and a smooth ride, whereas 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 example, if you plan to travel often on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you may want to consider a 3 wheel strollers-wheeler with sturdier tires. Think about the type of suspension you require. A strong suspension is ideal to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall may be initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14 for instance indicates that it is a radial tire in the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires on an even surface. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy can make it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and that can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also important. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces with ease.

Based on the type of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to spread weight evenly to tackle bumps.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features sleek design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by going for a ride on rough terrain. She found that it handled it really well and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It also makes it safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and get up. The seat made of fabric is inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats. This results in a lower seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited since it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party on all terrains.
