3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger and often have suspension to allow for smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and could tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you tackle off-road terrain. Look for models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces like sand and rock. These models also come with wheels that lock in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over the kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat collection, but it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel pushchair wheel buggies that can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using just one hand, and are easy to wash down. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheel stroller 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3 wheeler buggy-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in difficult spots. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will assist. This allows them to push over rough ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and reported that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles gravel tracks, dirt roads and a few hills."

Stella, the new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it features air-filled tires and three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. You can build your own travel system, whether you're looking to go for a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in many styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer a great performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can be initially, but understanding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel pushchair travel system wheel double buggy 3 wheels is a vital element to look for as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels which are filled with air and are lockable to ensure stability while jogging is also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off roads with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every budget and lifestyle. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly to take on bumps.

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 on a walk through rough ground and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a range of colors that match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat crib for babies and infants from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since 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 lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't like 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.
