3 wheeled pushchair Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. Many of them come with an sling made of fabric with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal from birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movements on a variety of terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable - they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you turn or stop abruptly, they may lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheeled buggy-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

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

With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can be turned on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be effortless and easy to handle. They also pass the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over the Kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that the brand calls'slim and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will feature an easy adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may feature an adjustable suspension or an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as when compared to a four-wheeled model but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can aid. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant and said that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces dirt roads, gravel tracks, and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, regardless of whether you want to go on shorter walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in many styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth ride and great maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing however, once you understand it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. For example, a tyre size of '185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14 inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, slide the tires on a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three wheel pushchair-wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any bumps or knocks caused by rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability when running are essential. This will allow your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric is tucked away inside the frame, in contrast to sitting on top like modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features an elegant design, a big wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she found that it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and can be a breeze getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and climb up. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of over it as modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily manoeuvred.

If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear wheel. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all terrains.
