3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability with a stylish and slim frame. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution that is ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be more bulky and heavy to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when they're in a straight line, and you'll be able to maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and can fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also come with the option of locking the front wheel to give stability over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for 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 floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range, but 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 baby car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as brake levers that are quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model, though both can get stuck on tight corners. But, picking a model that has larger wheels both front and back can help. This allows them to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down steep kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant, and she said that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills."

Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi, called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot and is a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel baby stroller 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 maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you pick will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently, you might think about a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital for ensuring safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might be confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14' means 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 are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheeled buggies-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and lockable for stability during jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

There are many options for buggy styles that will suit any budget and style of life. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its paces by going for a ride on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably, saying that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns or babies until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to get over curbs and climb up. The sling seat is affixed in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
