3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger and often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they can be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll be able to move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as sand and rock. These models also come with a lockable wheel in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are in the market for a seat made of cloth, 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 providing the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is best 3 wheel travel system known for its car seats however, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy to clean. The smallest models will come with an easy height adjustment for the handlebar, whereas others may feature an adjustable suspension as well as an extendable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as when compared to a four-wheeled model but both may get stuck in tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down steep curbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her baby and said that "it was very well-handled on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and dirt roads, gravel tracks and some hills."

Another great option is the latest 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It is suitable from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three wheel pushchairs recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

Its main selling feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's infant strollers and car seats. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres for lightest 3 wheel stroller wheel buggies are available in many styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your needs and where you live.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you may want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be crucial. Knowing how to read the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14 inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over a smooth surface and tie them. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they don't then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, that are air-filled, and are lockable for stability during jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is able to navigate off roads with ease.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every lifestyle and budget. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the right height for the best weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its paces by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well and said that it "navigates over bumpy grass, sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child since 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 is therefore more easy to roll over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This creates a low seat and buggy that is easily moved.

If you want to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It has a suspension system which allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear wheel. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
