3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. Many of these have an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect for babies from the age of.

The wheels are larger and typically have suspension to allow for smooth, swift mobility on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. However, if you try to stop or turn suddenly, they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road routes as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also typically include the option of locking the front wheel to give stability over rough terrain.

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

If you're in search of a fabric sling, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 4 wheels and uses an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller space. Many of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They could also come with a large, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The most reliable 3 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, although both can be stuck in difficult places. A model with larger front and rear wheels will assist. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3 wheeled pushchair-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and 3-year-old and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large, air-filled tyres, 3 wheel bassinet stroller recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' car seats and strollers for infants. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel running buggy wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre can be important. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might be confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 with 14-inch rim size.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to provide stability when running are essential. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with perfect geometry and engineering that fits comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to take on the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports an elegant design, a large wheel that's easy to move and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath 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, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of getting up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that will match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months old.

Safety

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

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

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies 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 tested independently on all types of terrain.
