3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them come with seats made of fabric that have a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth. The wheels are larger and often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be more bulky and heavy to store and transport. Stability Three wheel buggies are very stable – they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can maneuver them more quickly and efficiently. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis. You can also take on off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces, such as rock and sand. They'll also come with a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough ground. With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime – easy to steer with one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be effortless and easy to handle. They will also pass the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies. If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground – instantly ensuring the smoothest ride. Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seats, but it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame that is described by the brand as'slim and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There are a lot of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to can fit into smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. The smallest models will come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension or an extended 50+ UV canopy. They may also have large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release. The best 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain A 3-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in difficult places. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides will help. This allows them to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in getting up and down high kerbs. One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3-year-old son and reported that “it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on a few hills.” Another option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold. Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. You can build your own travel system, whether you want to go on an easy stroll or a longer one by using the chassis. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth performance and maneuverability, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live. If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight. Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewall of a tyre can be confusing at first, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 with 14-inch rim size. PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're not sure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on an even and secure 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 is a vital component to look for because it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and are lockable to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy will be capable of maneuvering off roads with ease. Depending on the type of buggie you're seeking There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to spread weight evenly to take on kerbs. Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by walking on rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it “navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs”. The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to complement your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus™ that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old. Safety The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair. 3 wheeled pushchair -wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable. However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited as it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads 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 across all types of terrain.
