3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movement over different 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 four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces such as sand and rock. They'll also usually have a lockable front wheel to give stability over 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 global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are in the market for a fabric seat they are typically lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly providing the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with four wheels as well as an unique pewter-black frame, which the brand describes as'slim and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. They can be folded with just one hand, and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will feature a basic adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may have an adjustable suspension as well as an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be better able to cope with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both can be stuck in tight places. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back can help. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3 wheel double stroller-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3 wheel all terrain buggy-year-old and said "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on a few hills."

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

Its main selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, regardless of whether you're looking to go for a an easy stroll or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or muddy terrain, you may want to consider a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be crucial. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14-inch rim diameter.

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

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and that can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also important. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Depending on the style of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggie. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their fabric sling seat is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, 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 choice. It comes in a variety of colors that match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat crib for babies and infants up to 12 months old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It can also be safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and walk up. The seats made of fabric are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seat position and a buggy that can be easily pushed.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is better suited as it has 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). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a specially-designed suspension system that's been independently tested across all types of terrain.
