3 Wheel Buggies3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with a comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect from birth.The wheels are larger and often have suspension to ensure smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.StabilityThree-wheel buggies have lots of stability. They don’t fall over as easily when moving straight. You can also manoeuvre more swiftly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly they’ll lose stability and may fall over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road trails and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They’ll also typically come with the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.With the correct 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 effortless and light in handling. They’ll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.If you’re looking for a cloth sling, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby’s center of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don’t need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up the curb).Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat collection, but it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is ‘light and compact’ – it’s only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.FoldingThere’s a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. Some of the smallest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrainA 3-wheel buggy will usually be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in difficult places. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can aid. This allows you to push them across rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down high curbs.One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her infant and reported that “it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and dirt roads, gravel tracks, and a few hills.”Stella Stella, the 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a single-hand fold.Its primary selling point is its modularity it’s compatible with all the brands’ infant car seats and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a foundation.TyresThe tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in many styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer an easy ride and excellent manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler equipped 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 be heavy and add to the overall weight.Another important factor to consider is the tyre’s size. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the tyre’s dimensions. For instance, a tyre’s size of ‘185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has 14 inches of rim diameter.In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you’re not sure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth and tied surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they don’t, then the tires are composed of rubber.SuspensionThe suspension of a three-wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and can be locked to provide stability while jogging are crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.Depending on the style of buggy you’re looking for There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to take on kerbs.The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features sleek design, a huge wheel that’s easy to move and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. Push Chairs And Prams tested the buggy its trials by taking it for a walk through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably and claimed that it “navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs”.The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy to pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 month old.SafetyHaving four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable.However, if you’d like to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is better suited since it has a suspension system 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 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
