3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have outstanding maneuverability. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable starting at birth.

The wheels are larger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movements on different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and more bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and can tip over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy [understanding] designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually have the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer with one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be easy and light to handle. They will also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric that are breathable, they tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing an easier ride.

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat range, but it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that is described by the brand as'slim and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. Many can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smallest 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 an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in tight spots. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can aid. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and 3-year-old and said "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on a few hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheel pushchair off road recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. You can create your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a an easy stroll or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its 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 select will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might want to consider a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Knowing how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can seem at first, but decoding it allows you to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 and has 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires slide easily they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy can make it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and that can be locked to provide stability while jogging are crucial. This will allow your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

Depending on the style of buggie you're seeking, there are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3 wheel stroller lightweight-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to spread weight evenly to conquer the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It has a sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and can be a breeze climbing and descending kerbs'.

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

Safety

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

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of over it as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

If you're planning to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best 3 wheel travel system option. It comes with an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear wheel. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party on all kinds of terrain.
