3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. Many of them have seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution that is ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and often have suspension to allow for smooth, agile moving on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're 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 may be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you tackle off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road trails and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. These models will also have an adjustable wheel that locks in the front to improve the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 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, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive black pewter frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact'. It's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. 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 may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can aid. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks, and some hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3 wheel running buggy-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it has air-filled tires with three wheel pushchair recline positions and a single-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' car seats and strollers for infants. This means you can create your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using only the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheeler strollers wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently you may want to consider a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing however, once you understand it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre with the size 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire that has a size of the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim size.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of 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 smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and are lockable for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, providing 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 a great alternative. It has sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements dirt tracks, and makes light work of going up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns or babies until 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not over it as modular seats. This results in a lower seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuverable.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear one. This allows you to take on rough terrain 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 across all terrains.
