3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. A lot of them have an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are ideal for babies from the age of.

The wheels are larger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movement over different terrains. The only downside is that they may be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel buggy designs in order 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) that can be used to handle off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as rocks and sand. They'll also usually include an adjustable front wheel that locks to give stability over rough ground.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime easy to steer with just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling. They also pass the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a seat made of fabric that are breathable, they tend to be smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range However, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It has four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame, which the brand describes 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 fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature an easy handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension and an extended 50+ UV canopy. Some models could have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as when compared to a four-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This allows them to push across rough terrain and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant and reported that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills."

Another option is the latest 3 wheel pushchairs-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand which is called Stella. It can be used from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it features air-filled tires and three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can design your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel pushchairs wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. A strong suspension is ideal to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with 14 inches of rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and lockable for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy is able to navigate off roads with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed with three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to sitting on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has sleek design, a big wheel that is easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a hike through rough terrain and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and can be a breeze climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a variety of colors that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants from 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity, making it easier to lift up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited as 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 buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT, 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 independently across all terrains.
