3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of these have an sling made of fabric with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution and are ideal from birth.

The wheels are larger and often have suspensions for smooth movements on various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when going in a straight line and you'll find that you can move them more quickly and easily. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

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

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels and an exclusive pewter-black aluminum 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 compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. They can be folded with a single hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in difficult places. A model with larger front and rear wheels will aid. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will assist you in climbing up and down steep curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3 wheeled travel system-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her infant and her 3-year-old, and said "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 3 wheel buggy 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 wheeler pushchair recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, whether you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel bassinet stroller (see this site) wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an easy ride and excellent maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your needs and the location you live in.

For instance, if are planning to travel frequently on rough or muddy terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspensions are useful to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's 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 also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across an even surface. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and lockable to provide stability when jogging crucial to ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off road surfaces easily.

There are many options for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes light work of getting up and down kerbs'.

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

Safety

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

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to pop up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all kinds of terrain.
