3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of them have seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically have suspension to allow for smooth, agile movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they can be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are moving straight. You can also maneuver them more quickly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly, they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you tackle off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces, such as sand and rock. These models will also have a lockable wheel on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight 3 wheel stroller travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that is described by the brand as'slim and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Certain models may come with large baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in difficult places. A model with larger front and rear wheels will aid. This allows you to push them across rough terrain and will help you get up and down the steep slopes.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and said that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces gravel tracks, dirt roads and some hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy (click through the following post) from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big air-filled tyres, three wheeler pushchairs recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using only the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel pushchairs wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.

For example, if you are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre may be initially, but understanding it allows you to understand the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14 inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, slide the tires across an even surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and are lockable to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off roads with ease.

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 is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably inside the frame, in contrast to being on top of modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a cosy lie flat crib for babies and infants that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to get over curbs and climb up. The seats of the fabric sling are built into the frame and not on top as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and buggy that is easily pushed.

However, if you want to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is more suitable as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
