3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with a cosy lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, come with suspension for agile smooth movement on a variety of terrains. The only downside is that they can be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll be able to move them more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and could fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel stroller travel system-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. These models also come with an adjustable wheel that locks in the front to improve stability over rough terrain.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a seat made of fabric they are typically less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring an easier ride.

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat range, but it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 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 variety of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. They can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and a brake lever that's quick-release.

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in tight spots. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels on both sides will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down steep curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and reported that "it did really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces and dirt roads, gravel tracks, and a few hills."

Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3 wheel jogger-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with an impressively slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big, air-filled tyres, 3 wheeled buggies recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. This means you can build your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a starting point.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example, offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. A strong suspension is ideal 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. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across a smooth and tied surface. If the tires move easily, they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

There are many options for buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggie. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect, their fabrics sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution that allows it to easily handle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports an elegant design, a large wheel that's easy to move and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that will complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a range of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seat and a buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be more suitable as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels 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 by an independent party across all types of terrain.
