3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and often come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and may be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces like rocks and sand. They'll also typically include an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're in search of a fabric sling, 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 ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the curb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its product line with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are easy to wipe down. The smallest models will come with a simple height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension and an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They could also come with large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model, though both can get stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.





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

Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It can be used from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and an easy fold with one hand.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can design your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on an easy stroll or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres, offer an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in a 3-wheeler with sturdier tires. You should also consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for ensuring safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing however, once you understand it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 with 14-inch rim size.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If the tires slide smoothly and smoothly, they're made of PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an essential component to look for because it will absorb the jolts 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 while jogging are crucial. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the type of buggy you're looking for There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight evenly to conquer kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has sleek design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by walking on rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfy lie-flat mattress for babies and infants until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. 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 vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and get up. 3 wheeled pushchairs pushchairsandpramsuk sling seats are placed inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a low seat and buggy that is easily pushed.

If you're looking to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels 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 by an independent party across all types of terrain.
