3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually have suspension to allow for smooth, swift mobility on various terrains. The only downside is that they can be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose stability and tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Find models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces like rocks and sand. These models will also feature wheels that lock on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the right geometry, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be easy and easy to handle. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, they tend to be set 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 less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to lift 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 line-up with the striking Citylife. This twin 3 wheel stroller-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and uses a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheeler pushchair wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will have an easy adjustable height of the handlebars, while others could have an adjustable suspension or an extended 50+ UV canopy. They could also come with a large, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be more adept at dealing with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in difficult places. But, picking a model with larger wheels on both sides will help. This allows you to push them across rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down the steep slopes.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and reported that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and dirt roads, gravel tracks and even a few hills."

Another great option is the latest 3 wheeled pushchair-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand, called Stella. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it features air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means you can build your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using only the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel jogger stroller wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or muddy terrain, you may be interested in a 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheeler with sturdier tires. Think about the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. A tyre with a size of 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire in 185/70 with 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires move easily, they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and can be locked to provide stability when jogging essential to ensure that your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, offering the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the right height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and found that it handled the terrain really well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze climbing and descending kerbs'.

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

Safety

Having four wheels makes the pushchair 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 dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seats made of fabric are placed inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates a low seat and a buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to go for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is more suitable as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that 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.
