Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also typically include a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime easy to steer with just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be effortless and light in handling.

They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can be stuck in difficult places. But, picking a model that has larger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This allows them to push over uneven ground and can help in moving up and down steep 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 tried it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on some hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3 wheeled strollers-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot.

The type you select will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is important. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre with an 185/70 size R14, for example is a radial tire that has a size of the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on an even surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your baby as 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 climb up. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear wheel.
