3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability with a stylish and sleek frame. Many of them come with a fabric sling with a comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are ideal starting at birth.

The wheels are larger and often 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 extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line and you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly, they'll lose stability and may be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase 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 called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. They'll also typically include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

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

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others could have an adjustable suspension and an extended 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can help. This makes them easier to push across rough terrain and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces, gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills."

Another option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres, three recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity it's compatible with all the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can design your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide an easy ride and excellent maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently, you might think about a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over an even and secure surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made from PU. If they do not then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It sports an elegant design, a large wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a hike through rough terrain and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes a 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 colors that match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and walk up. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not over it as modular seats do, which creates a low seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the best option. It has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear wheel. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been independently tested across all types of terrain.
