3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have great maneuverability. A lot of them have an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are suitable starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movement on a variety of terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and easily. However, if you try to stop or turn suddenly, they'll lose stability and could fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails and other surfaces including rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also usually have a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards globally and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a cloth sling, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat collection However, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller space. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature a simple adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may have an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Certain models may come with large baskets and brake levers that are quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be more able to deal with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight places. But, picking a model with larger wheels both front and back can help. This allows you to push them across rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her infant and 3-year-old son and reported that "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles, gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it features air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

3 wheeled pushchair selling point is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. You can design your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.





Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example offer an easy ride and excellent maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

For pushchair 3 wheels , if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler with sturdier tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also important. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing initially, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 and has a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're not sure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over a smooth and tied surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and can be locked for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off road surfaces easily.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any budget and lifestyle. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by walking through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a variety of colours that match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 month old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not on top of it like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuverable.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all types of terrain.
