3 Wheel Buggies Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. A lot of them have an sling made of fabric with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed that is perfect for weight distribution, and are perfect starting at birth. The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be more bulky and heavy to transport and store. Stability Three wheel buggies are very stable – they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could 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 using the additional wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They'll also typically come with an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough ground. With the right geometry, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies. If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, 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 ground – instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up the Kerb). Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its product line with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban life, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There are a lot of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release. The most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can aid. This makes them easier to push over rough ground and can help in moving up and down steep kerbs. One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her baby, and she said that “it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles gravel tracks, dirt roads and even a few hills.” Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, however, it comes with air-filled tires and three recline positions and a one-handed fold. Its most appealing feature 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 only the chassis as a base. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type you pick will depend on your needs and where you live. For example, if you intend to frequently travel on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tires. Think about the kind of suspension you need. 3 wheeler pushchair that are strong are great to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight. Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may seem confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire in 185/70 and has 14-inch rim size. In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're not sure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires move 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 aspect to consider as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also crucial. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over 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 3-wheel buggies. 3 wheeled pushchair sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to conquer kerbs. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to move and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also has a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by going for a ride on rough terrain. She found that it handled it really well and said that it “navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks and allows you to easily go 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 match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus™ that is a comfy lie-flat crib for babies and infants from 12 months to 12 years old. Safety Four wheels make the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It can also be more secure for your baby since 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 and is therefore easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seats of the fabric sling are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This creates a low seating position and an automobile that is easily pushed. However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is better suited as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all terrains.
