3 Wheel Buggies

If you turn or stop abruptly, they can lose their stability and fall over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. They'll also usually come with a lockable 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; feature 360o front swivel wheels that allow agility and mobility to be effortless and easy to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up a curb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is compatible starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat.

Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres.

The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if you intend to frequently travel on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you may think about a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is important. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability.
