3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability with a stylish and slim frame. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has a comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth. The wheels are larger and often have suspensions for smooth movement on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be bulkier and heavier to transport and store. Stability Three wheel buggies are extremely solid – they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line, and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and may fall over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis. You can also tackle off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces such as rock and sand. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain. With the right geometry, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime – easy to steer with one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be effortless and easy to handle. They also pass the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies. If you're looking for a cloth 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 and provides a more comfortable ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over the curb). Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seat range However, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' – it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There's a wide selection of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller spaces. They can be folded with a single hand and are easy to wipe down. The smallest models will come with a simple adjustable height of the handlebars, while others may feature an adjustable suspension and an extendable 50+ UV canopy. Certain models may come with a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release. The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain when compared to a four-wheeled model however both can get stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs. One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and her 3-year-old, and said “it handles really well over bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks, as well as on a few hills.” Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold. Its most appealing feature is its modularity it's compatible with all of the brand's infant car seats and strollers. This means you can build your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using only the chassis as a starting point. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. three wheel pushchairs -filled tyres, for example provide an easy ride and excellent manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in. If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often, you might be interested in a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension you need. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight. Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Understanding the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewall of a tyre can seem initially, but decoding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre with the size 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 with 14-inch rim size. PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. 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 they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy will be capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease. Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggie. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect their sling seat made of fabric sits snug within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the right height for the best weight distribution that allows it to easily handle kerb pops. Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes a light work of climbing and descending kerbs'. The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also pick from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus™ that is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old. Safety Having four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair. A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and climb up. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This results in a low seat and an automobile that is easily maneuvered. If you're planning to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a specially-designed suspension system that's been independently tested across all terrains.
