3 wheel parent facing pushchair Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually have suspension to allow for smooth, fluid moving on different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line and you'll be able to move them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and can fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look for 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 rock and sand. They'll also typically include a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime - easy to steer with just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be effortless and light in handling. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric that are breathable, they tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring the smoothest ride.

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the attractive Citylife. This 3 wheel travel stroller-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with 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 most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model, though both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can help. This allows them to push over rough ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3 wheel stroller-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks, as well as on a few hills."

Another great alternative is the new 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers 3 wheels and car seats. You can create your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on shorter walk or a longer one by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently, you might think about a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may be confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means 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 not sure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires slide smoothly they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off roads with ease.

There are many options for buggy styles to suit every budget and style of life. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to being on top of modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and makes a light work of getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a range of colors that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram, such as the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies 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 across all types of terrain.
