3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have great maneuverability. A lot of them have a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are ideal from birth.

The wheels are larger and typically have suspension to ensure smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when going in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Find models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rocks and sand. These models also come with wheels that lock on the front to increase stability 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 looking for a cloth sling seat, they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor - 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).

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its range with the attractive Citylife. This 3 wheel twin stroller-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable starting at birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 4 wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can fit into smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller 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 large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheel pushchairs wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in tight spots. A model with larger front and rear wheels can assist. This makes them easier to push over uneven ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her baby and said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3 wheel compact stroller-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth when used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it has air-filled tires and three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

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

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheeled buggies wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider 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 add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

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

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires over a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to provide stability when running are crucial. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces with ease.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with precise design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to take on the kerbs.

Another option 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 twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it for a hike through rough terrain and she found that it handled the terrain really well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes light work of climbing and descending the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns until 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

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 seats are placed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This results in a lower seat position and buggy that is easily moved.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
