3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are bigger and often have suspensions for smooth movement on various terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

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 find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and can fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They'll also include the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be effortless and light to handle. They also meet the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, 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 floor which means a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over a curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight travel system and pushchair. The model is designed for urban living and is compatible from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It comes with 4 wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a good choice of 3 wheel double buggy wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller space. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are easy to wash down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The best 3 wheel stroller travel system 3 wheel stroller and car seat wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in difficult spots. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels both front and back can help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3 wheel stroller cheap-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and 3-year-old son and reported that "it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on a few hills."

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

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you pick will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can seem initially, but understanding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 is a sign 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 on a smooth surface. If the tires slide smoothly, they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel stroller reversible seat wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to ensure stability while jogging are important. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Based on the type of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, instead of on top like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to take on kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features a sleek design, a huge 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 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 grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks, and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a variety of colours that match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. 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 also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

However, if you want to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be more suitable as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
