3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movements on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they can be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide plenty of stability. They don't fall over as easily when driving straight. You can also maneuver faster. If you turn or stop abruptly, they may lose stability and tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. They'll also usually include an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough ground.

With the correct geometry, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime - easy to steer with just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels that allow agility and mobility to be easy and light to handle. They will also pass the same stability standards globally and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric they are typically 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 a smoother ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife Lightweight 3 Wheel Buggy travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller spaces. Many can be folded with one hand and are easy to wash down. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They could also come with large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as in comparison to a model with four wheels but both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with larger front and rear wheels can aid. This makes them easier to push over rough ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and her 3 wheel double buggy-year-old, and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

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

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often you may be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall may be confusing initially, but understanding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14 inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're not sure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth and tied surface. If the tires slide smoothly they are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled and are able to be locked to provide stability when jogging are also essential. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It features sleek design, a big wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also features an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and can be a breeze getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It can also be more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair 3 wheels.

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

If you're looking to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheel. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four-wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party on all terrains.
