3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, and have great maneuverability. 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 starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, agile movement on different terrains. The only downside is that they can be heavier and more bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

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

The additional wheel also allows you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. They’ll also usually include an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability on rough ground.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you’re looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be 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.

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seats, but it has 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 comes with four wheels as well as a unique pewter-black aluminium frame, which the brand describes as’slim and compact. It’s smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

Some of the smaller models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They could also come with large, spacious baskets and a brake lever with quick release.

The most efficient 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road conditions compared to a 4-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. But, picking a model that has larger wheels both front and back can help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3-year-old and said “it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on some hills.”

Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi’s car seat brand which is called Stella. three wheel pushchair is suitable for babies from birth if used with a carrycot. It’s a bit bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Tyres

Air-filled tyres, for example offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For example, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or muddy terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. Also, three wheel pushchair should consider the type of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy and add to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre can be important. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can seem at first, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre’s 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.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren’t sure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

With the perfect geometry and engineering their sling seat made of fabric sits snug within the frame, as opposed to being on top of modular seats, resulting in the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its paces by walking through rough terrain. She found that it handled it really well and claimed that it “navigates over bumpy grass, sidewalks, cobbles 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 choice. It is available in a range of colors that will match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily manoeuvred.

If you’re planning to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running.
