3 Wheel BuggiesThree-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.3 wheel pushchair are bigger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.StabilityThree wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when going in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If three wheel pushchair turn or stop abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.If you are looking for a fabric seat, these tend to be smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring the smoothest ride.Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat range However, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. The 3-in-1 model was 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 compactly to fit in smaller spaces. They can be folded with just one hand, and are easy to wash down. The smallest models will feature a basic height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others could have an adjustable suspension as well as an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.The best 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrainA 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model, though both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with larger rear and front wheels can help. This allows them to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in getting up and down high kerbs.One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills."Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It's suitable for babies when used 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, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers and car seats. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a starting point.TyresThe tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you pick will depend on your needs and where you live.For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be initially, but understanding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. A tyre with the size 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire in 185/70 and has 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 and tied surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.SuspensionThe suspension of a three wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. A large wheel that are air-filled, and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces with ease.Depending on the type of buggie you're seeking There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. 3 wheeler pushchair sling seats made of fabrics are designed with perfect geometry and engineering that fits snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to spread weight evenly to conquer the kerbs.Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes a light work of going up and down the kerbs'.The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.SafetyThe presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and get up. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.However, if you'd like to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all types of terrain.
