3 Wheel Buggies3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability with a stylish and streamlined frame. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.The wheels are bigger and typically have suspension to ensure smooth, swift mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.StabilityThree wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. 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 to improve the stability of the chassis.You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces like rocks and sand. These models will also feature wheels that lock on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over the Kerb).Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range However, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. Pushchairs And Prams has 4 wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.FoldingThere are many three wheel buggies that can be folded down to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.The most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrainA 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will assist. This allows you to push them across rough terrain and will help you get up and down the steep slopes.One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on a few hills."Another alternative is the new 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It is suitable from birth if used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold.Its primary selling point is its modularity it's compatible with all the brand's infant car seats and strollers. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using only the chassis as a base.TyresThe tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer a great performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. Think about the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.Another aspect to be considered is the tyre's size. Knowing how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may be confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14-inch rim diameter.PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, slide the tires on an even surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.SuspensionThe suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to provide stability when running are crucial. This will allow your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces effortlessly.Depending on the style of buggie you're seeking, there are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It features sleek design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and makes light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat crib for babies and infants from 12 months to 12 years old.SafetyFour wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and walk up. The fabric sling seats are built into the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This results in a low seat and buggy that is easily moved.If you're looking to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that 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 independently tested across all terrains.
