3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and sleek frame. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth. The wheels are larger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, swift movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store & transport. Stability Three-wheel buggies provide a lot of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over as easily when you are moving straight. You can also maneuver more swiftly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly, they'll lose stability and could fall over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis. The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. They'll also usually include an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability on rough terrain. The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. 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 fabric seat they are typically smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground – instantly ensuring a smoother ride. Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its product line with the eye-catching Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and is compatible from birth with a newborn car seat or carrycot for infants. It has four wheels and an exclusive pewter-black aluminum frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There are many 3 wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. Many can be folded with one hand and are easy to wash down. The smallest models will come with an easy adjustable height of the handlebars, while others could have an adjustable suspension as well as an expandable 50+ UV canopy. Some models could have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release. The most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road conditions when compared to a four-wheeled model but both may get stuck in tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels on both sides will help. This will make it easier to push them over rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down steep curbs. One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her child and said that “it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and gravel tracks, dirt roads and a few hills.” Another great alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand which is called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold. Its primary selling point is its modularity it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can design your own travel system, regardless of whether you want to go on a short walk or take a longer stroll, using the chassis. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in. If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair. 3 wheeled pushchair of the tyre can be 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 confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to 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. In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on an even and secure surface. If the tires slide easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber. Suspension The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. A large wheel that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease. Depending on the style 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 in three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to on top like modular seats, providing a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It sports a sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also features an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its tests by taking it for a walk on rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably, saying that it “navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and even 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 suit your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus™ which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old. Safety Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier to maneuver. It can also be safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair. A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and buggy that is easily moved. However, if you want to go out for a run with your baby then a four-wheeler is more suitable as it comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all kinds of terrain.
