3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and often include suspension to allow for smooth movements on various terrains. The only downside is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't tip over more easily when going straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and could fall over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. They'll also usually have an adjustable front wheel that locks to give stability over rough ground.

With the right design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be effortless and light in handling. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

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

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range, but it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. The 3 Wheel Umbrella stroller-in-1 model was designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature a simple height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions in comparison to a model with four wheels, though both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels both front and back can help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and can assist you in climbing up and down steep curbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3 wheel pushchair travel system-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her child and reported that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and even a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3 wheel baby strollers-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its main selling point 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 shorter walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheeler pushchair wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might think about a 3 wheel travel stroller-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for ensuring safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall may be confusing initially, but decoding it allows you to 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 14 inches of rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across a smooth surface. If the tires slide smoothly they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. A large wheel that are air-filled, and can be locked to provide stability when jogging crucial to ensure that your buggy will be able to navigate off road surfaces easily.

There are many options for buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three wheeled buggies-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering that fits perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly to tackle the kerbs.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She found that it handled it really well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat crib for babies and infants that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child since 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 climb up. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited as it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel which allows you to navigate 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). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
