3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of them come with an sling made of fabric with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect for babies from the age of.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movement on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide plenty of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over more easily when moving straight. You can also maneuver them more quickly. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and may tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheeler pushchair off road-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. These models will also feature wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain.

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

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor which means a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the Kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3 wheeler stroller-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They could also come with an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight spots. But, picking a model with bigger wheels both front and back will help. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

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

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer named Stella. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it features air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer a great ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful 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 ensuring safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might be confusing however, once you understand it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on the surface with a smooth surface. If the tires move easily they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and lockable to ensure stability while jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly to take on the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has a sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that will complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies 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 can also be 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 centre of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not over it as modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be more suitable as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
