3 Wheel Buggies

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

The wheels are larger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have a lot of stability. They don't tip over as easily when going straight. You can also maneuver faster. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel infant stroller-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models also come with wheels that lock on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat collection However, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is compatible from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel bassinet stroller wheel buggies that fold down to fit into smaller space. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will have a basic height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension and an extendable 50+ UV canopy. Some models may have large baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler strollers wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeler will typically be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in tight spots. A model with larger front and rear wheels will help. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child, and she said that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces gravel tracks, dirt roads and some hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand named Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' infant strollers and car seats. You can design 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 a variety of styles and types of materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an effortless ride and superior maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension that you need. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Understanding how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy (learn here) is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and lockable for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces easily.

Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to take on kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has a sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to move and comes with a superb suspension. It also features the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its trials by taking it for a walk on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably, saying that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip and easier to handle. 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 center of gravity and therefore is easier to pop up and over curbs. The seats of the fabric sling are built into the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seat position and a buggy that can be easily pushed.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is more suitable as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all types of terrain.
