3 Wheel Buggies: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of them come with an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution, and are perfect from birth.

The wheels are larger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movements on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be more bulky and heavy to transport and store.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line and you'll be able to move them more quickly and effortlessly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. They'll also usually include a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

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

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, they are typically placed 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 less kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats, but it has 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 has 4 wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. Many can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that's quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheel buggy will usually be better able to cope with off-road conditions better than one with four wheels, however both can be stuck in difficult spots. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can aid. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and can help you get up and down high curbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and said that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles dirt roads, gravel tracks, and some hills."

Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It is suitable for babies from birth when used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's car seats and strollers for infants. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of designs and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example, offer a smooth ride and great manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be crucial. Understanding how to understand three wheel pushchair sizing is vital for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall can be confusing at first, but decoding it helps you 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 a 14 inch 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 tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across an even surface. If the tires slide easily they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and lockable for stability during jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every budget and lifestyle. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With the perfect geometry and engineering their fabric sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the perfect height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through 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, 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 comes with an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.


Safety

Four wheels make a buggy much more stable and less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It also makes it more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seat and an automobile that is easily moved.

If you're looking to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all types of terrain.
