3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability with a stylish and sleek frame. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movements on a variety of terrains. The only drawback is that they can be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very solid - they don't fall over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look for models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as rock and sand. These models will also feature wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your kinderkraft Helsi 3-wheeler baby stroller in gray's center of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over the kerb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its range with the attractive Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and is compatible for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel stroller wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller spaces. They can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wash down. The smallest models will have a simple adjustable height of the handlebars, while others could have an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can assist. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down the steep slopes.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on a few hills."

Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It is suitable for babies from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brand's infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, regardless of whether you want to go on shorter walk or take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the tyre's size. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing until you get the hang of it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. For example, a tyre size of '185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14 inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and are lockable to provide stability when jogging essential to ensure that your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces with ease.

There are many choices for buggy designs to fit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports a sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to move and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its paces by taking it for a walk on rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and said that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

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

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

If you're planning to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the best option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear wheel. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However, not all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all types of terrain.
