3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a cosy lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movement over different terrains. The only downside is that they may be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

lightweight 3 wheel stroller -wheel buggies provide plenty of stability. They don't tip over more easily when moving straight. You can also maneuver faster. If you turn or stop abruptly, they may lose stability and even tip over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.

With the correct design, 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 effortless and light in handling. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

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

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will have a simple adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both can be stuck in tight spots. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides will help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and can help you get up and down steep curbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her child and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces dirt roads, gravel tracks, and a few hills."

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by car seat brand Maxi-Cosi, called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' car seats and strollers for infants. 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 for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you choose will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often, you might be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing however, once you understand it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. A tyre that has an 185/70 size R14, for example is a radial tire in 185/70 with 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, you can test sliding the tires over a smooth and tied surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and are able to be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed with three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for the best weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and a simple handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and can be a breeze getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable, flat bed for newborns or babies until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to get over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and an automobile that is easily moved.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that 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 independently tested on all kinds of terrain.
