3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. Many of these have an sling made of fabric with a cosy lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect starting at birth.

The wheels are larger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide a lot of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are driving straight. They also allow you to maneuver them more quickly. However, if you try to stop or turn suddenly they'll lose stability and could fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Choose models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as rocks and sand. They'll also usually have an adjustable front wheel that locks to give stability over rough ground.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you are in the market for a fabric seat that are breathable, they tend to be less upright in comparison 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 best known for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller space. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are simple to wash down. The smallest models will feature a basic handlebar height adjustment, while others may have an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheel running buggy-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model however both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can aid. This makes them easier to push over rough ground and can help in getting up and down high kerbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant, and she said that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and dirt roads, gravel tracks and even some hills."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi, called Stella. It is suitable for babies from birth when used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a single-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity it's compatible with all the brands' infant car seats and strollers. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel tandem stroller wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer a great ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you reside.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres may be at first, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates 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 unsure whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If the tires slide smoothly, they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Having large wheels, that are air-filled, and are lockable for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be capable of maneuvering off road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its tests by taking it for a walk through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well and said that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to go 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 complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily manoeuvred.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all terrains.
