3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable for babies from the age of.

The wheels are larger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement over different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can move them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand, and mud. These models also come with a lockable wheel in the front to improve stability on rough terrain.

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

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over the Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat collection However, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife lightweight 3 wheel pushchair travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and has 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 are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. 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. Some models could have an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheeler for rough terrain

A 3 wheel pushchair off road-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions compared to a 4-wheeled model however both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will help. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and is often helpful in getting up and down high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3 wheel buggy-year-old son and reported that "it is very well-handled over cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on a few hills."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel pushchair wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. 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 of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. This means you can build your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in many styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and great manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often, you might want to consider a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewall of a tyre can be at first, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire with a diameter of the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim size.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important 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 air-filled and can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also crucial. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces easily.

Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, providing the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it handled the terrain really well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants until 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also 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 lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

If you want to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has a suspension system which allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear one. 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 by an independent party across all kinds of terrain.
