3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over as easily when you are moving straight. You can also manoeuvre them more quickly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. 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 sand and rock. These models will also feature wheels that lock on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle 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're in search of a fabric sling seat, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up the Kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and is compatible for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with 4 wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact 3 wheel stroller' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, although both can get stuck in tight places. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides will help. This allows you to push them across rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three wheeler pushchairs-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her child and said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills."

Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, 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 3 wheels. You can build your own travel system, whether you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 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 maneuverability while foam-filled tires 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 unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewall of a tyre may be confusing initially, but understanding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means 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 of a pushchair are rubber or PU, slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels which are filled with air and are lockable to ensure stability while jogging is also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

Depending on the style of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example the best 3 wheel stroller Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably inside the frame, in contrast to being on top of modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its tests by going for a ride through rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and even allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also pick from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It also makes it safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to go for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all types of terrain.
