3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability with a stylish and slim frame. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when moving straight. They also allow you to maneuver more swiftly. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and could tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel umbrella stroller-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces like rocks and sand. They'll also include the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

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 wheel that allows agility and mobility to be easy and light in handling. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you are looking for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing a smoother ride.

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight 3 wheel buggy pushchair and travel system to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is suitable starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded compactly and can fit into smaller spaces. They can be folded with just one hand, and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3 wheel double stroller-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This allows them to push over uneven ground and will often help with moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her child and reported that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces dirt roads, gravel tracks and some hills."

Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by car seat brand Maxi-Cosi, called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 wheel infant stroller 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. You can build your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheeled strollers wheel buggies are available 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 you select will be based on your personal preferences and where you live.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they don't then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to ensure stability while jogging are essential. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many options for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their fabric sling seat is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to being on top of modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the ideal height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It features an elegant design, a large wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it handled the terrain really well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable, flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The seat made of fabric is inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily maneuverable.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads 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, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all terrains.
