3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of these feature a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movement over various terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you try to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and may fall 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 that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. They'll also usually include a lockable front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

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

If you're looking for a fabric seat they are typically lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring an easier ride.

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife.

Some of the tiniest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They could also come with a large, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3 wheel stroller set-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in tight spots. A model with larger rear and front wheels can assist. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

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

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in many styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you pick will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Understanding 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 be confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand 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 aren't sure if a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a lightest 3 wheel stroller wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby.

Their fabrics sling seats are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, instead of on top like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to conquer the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports a sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to move and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by going for a ride through rough terrain. She found that it handled it really well and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and get up. The seats made of fabric are built into the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a low seating position and a buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel 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 tested by an independent party across all types of terrain.
