3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have outstanding maneuverability. Many of these have an sling made of fabric with a comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

The wheels are larger and often have suspension to ensure smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can move them more quickly and efficiently. However, if you attempt 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 wheeler buggy-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road routes and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime - easy to steer using just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be easy and easy to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a fabric seat they are typically smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring a smoother ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

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

The best 3 wheel travel system 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road conditions in comparison to a model with four wheels, though both can get stuck on tight corners. But, picking a model that has larger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and will help you get up and down steep curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her baby and reported that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and gravel tracks, dirt roads and some hills."

Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel push chair wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand, called Stella. It is suitable for babies from birth when used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires, three recline positions, and an easy fold with one hand.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the brands' infant strollers and car seats. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using only the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each has its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

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

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing however, once you understand it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of rim diameter.

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

Suspension

The suspension on a three 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 essential. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she found that it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of getting up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat crib for babies and infants up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and walk up. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and an automobile that is easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently across all types of terrain.
