3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, agile mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very 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 baby buggy-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up a kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and uses an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies (for beginners) that can be folded in a compact 3 wheel stroller way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many can be folded with just one hand, and are easy to wash down. Some of the tiniest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels on both sides will help. This allows you to push them over rough terrain and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and 3-year-old and said "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on a few hills."

Stella Stella, the 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it has air-filled tires and three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

Its main selling feature is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. 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 are available in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer a great performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is the tyre's size. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can seem at first, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre 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 aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled and are able to be locked to provide stability while jogging are crucial. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for There are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best 3 wheel stroller weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she found that it handled the terrain really well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements dirt tracks, and makes a light work of getting up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 month old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to get over curbs and walk up. The seats made of fabric are placed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads 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 tested by an independent party on all types of terrain.
