3 Wheel BuggiesThree-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of these have an sling made of fabric with a comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect starting at birth.The wheels are bigger and often have suspension to ensure smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.StabilityThree wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.You can also take on off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. These models will also have a lockable wheel in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.With the correct geometry, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.If you're looking for a fabric sling, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up the curb).Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame, which the brand describes as'slim' and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.FoldingThere's a wide selection of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will have an easy handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature a large, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrainA 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road conditions in comparison to a model with four wheels, though both can get stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down high curbs.One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her child and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and dirt roads, gravel tracks and a few hills."Another alternative is the new 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi, called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a base.TyresThe tyres for 3 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, offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or unpaved terrain, you may think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. You should also consider the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has a 14-inch rim diameter.PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're not sure 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 they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.SuspensionThe suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces easily.Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with precise geometry and engineering that fits comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to tackle kerbs.The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has an elegant design, a large wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a hike through rough terrain and she found that it adapted to the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even makes light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a variety of colors that match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.SafetyFour wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.3 wheeler pushchair -wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity, making it more easy to roll over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and buggy that is easily maneuvered.However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited since it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
