3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them come with a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

The wheels are larger and often have suspension to allow for smooth, agile moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they can be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when going in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and may be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as rock and sand. These models also come with wheels that lock in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over the curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats however, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with four wheels as well as an unique pewter-black frame that is described by the brand as'slim' and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the smallest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They may also have large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

The most efficient 3 Wheel Push chair wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheel stroller cheap-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in tight places. A model with larger front and rear wheels will aid. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and can assist you in climbing up and down the steep slopes.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and reported that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks, and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain twin 3 wheel stroller-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brand's infant car seats and strollers. You can create your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a an easy stroll or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide a smooth ride and great manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where you reside.

For example, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or muddy terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tires. You should also consider the type of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can seem initially, but understanding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has 14-inch rim size.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential component to look for because it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and are lockable for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy will be able to navigate off road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the type of buggie you're seeking There are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to sitting on top 3 wheel strollers like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has an elegant design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and makes light work of going up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a variety of colours that will complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also select 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 comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and walk up. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited 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 - just bear in mind 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 independently tested across all terrains.
