3 Wheel Buggies3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth.The wheels are larger and usually have suspension to allow for smooth, fluid movement on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.StabilityThree wheel buggies are extremely stable and don’t tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line, and you’ll find that you can maneuver them more quickly and efficiently. However, if you try to stop or turn suddenly, they’ll lose stability and could fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.You can also take on off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain.With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment’s notice easy to steer with just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels allowing agility and mobility to be easy and light to handle. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels.If you’re looking for a cloth sling, then these tend to be 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 a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a kerb).Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its line-up with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is ‘slim and compact’ – it’s actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.FoldingThere are many three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are easy to wash down. Some of the smallest 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 quick-release brake lever.The most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrainA 3-wheeler is likely to be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than one with four wheels, however both can be stuck in tight places. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels on both sides will help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and will assist you in climbing up and down steep curbs.The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and 3-year-old son and reported that “it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks, as well as on a few hills.”Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and an easy fold with one hand.Its main selling point is its modularity, though it’s compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.TyresThe tyres of 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might want to consider a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for ensuring safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can appear confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of “185/70 R14′ means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14-inch rim diameter.In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you aren’t sure if a pushchair’s tires are rubber or PU, slide the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.SuspensionThe suspension of a three wheel buggy can make 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 are able to be locked to provide stability while jogging are important. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.There are many options for buggy designs to fit every budget and style of life. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. With 3 wheel pushchair and engineering their fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports sleek design, a big wheel that’s easy to move and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and found that it was able to handle the terrain well. She said that it ‘flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and can be a breeze going up and down kerbs’.The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement 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 will transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns or babies until 12 months old.SafetyFour wheels make the pushchair more stable, less likely for it to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable.If you’re looking to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one 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 like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all terrains.
