3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of them come with an sling made of fabric with a comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal for babies from the age of.

The wheels are bigger and often have suspension to ensure smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose stability and tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you navigate off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. These models also come with a lockable wheel in the front to improve stability on rough terrain.

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

If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric they are typically less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring a smoother ride.

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its range with the attractive Citylife. The 3 wheel running buggy-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is compatible starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with four wheels as well as a unique pewter-black aluminium frame, which the brand describes as'slim and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will have a basic handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension or an extended 50+ UV canopy. They could also come with a large, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in difficult places. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and can aid in getting up and down steep curbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and reported that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity 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 take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you may be interested in a 3 wheel stroller-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the tyre's size. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of 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 across a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child as it absorbs any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to provide stability when running are essential. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces easily.

Depending on the style of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It features an elegant design, a huge wheel that's easy to move 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 through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well 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 model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors 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 into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

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. This creates a low 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 four-wheeler is more suitable as it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind 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 independently tested on all types of terrain.
