3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel stroller with bassinet (other) wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, slim frame. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has a cosy lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger and usually have suspension to allow for smooth, agile mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't fall over as easily when going straight. You can also manoeuvre more swiftly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Find models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the kerb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the attractive Citylife. This 3 wheel twin stroller-in-1 is ideal for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and 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 3 wheeler strollers wheel buggies which can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. They can be folded with one hand and are easy to wipe down. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. They may also feature large, spacious baskets and a quick-release brake lever.

The most reliable 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can be stuck in tight places. But, picking a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This will make it easier to push them over rough terrain and can help you get up and down steep curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and her 3 wheel stroller with seat-year-old, and said "it is very well-handled over cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on some hills."

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

Its main selling point is its modularity, though - it's compatible with all 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 base.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. Think about the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to 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 sidewalls of tyres can be at first, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire in the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim size.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires over a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheeler buggies wheel buggy is an essential aspect to consider as it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your child. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is crucial to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces easily.

Based on the type of buggie you're seeking, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility with three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to tackle bumps.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, pavements dirt tracks, and can be a breeze getting up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a variety of colors that will complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns or babies until 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable.

If you're planning to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
