3 Wheel Buggies3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them have an upholstered sling that has a comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect starting at birth.The wheels are bigger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to transport and store.StabilityThree-wheel buggies provide lots of stability. They don't fall over as easily when you are moving straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and can fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. They'll also typically include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough terrain.The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then they tend to be set 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 less noticeable kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its range with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'slim and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.FoldingThere's a wide selection of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. They can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. 3 wheel pushchair of the tiniest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models may have large baskets and a brake lever that's quick-release.The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrainA 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in tight spots. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on some hills."Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' car seats and strollers for infants. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a base.TyresThe tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air, offer 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 instance, if are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you may want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Think about the kind of suspension you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.The size of the tyre is important. Understanding the tyre size is important for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem initially, but understanding it allows you to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire with a diameter of the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're not sure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are made of rubber.SuspensionThe suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is a vital aspect to consider as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels which are filled with air and can be locked for stability during jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy is capable of navigating 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 with its three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric sits snug within the frame, as opposed to being on top of modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports an elegant design, a large wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also has an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its tests by taking it for a walk on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and even allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to suit your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfy lie-flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.SafetyFour wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be more suitable as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain 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 independently tested across all terrains.
