3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. A lot of them have an upholstered sling that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are suitable for babies from the age of. The wheels are bigger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movements on a variety of terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be more bulky and heavy to transport and store. Stability Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't fall over as easily when moving straight. They also allow you to maneuver more swiftly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and may fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis. The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Look for 3 wheeler pushchair that have 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 typically come with an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability on rough terrain. With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows agility and mobility to be effortless and light to handle. They will also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels. If you are looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground – instantly providing a smoother ride. Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable for newborns with a car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 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 are many 3 wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have large baskets and a brake lever that's quick-release. The best 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain in comparison to a model with four wheels however both may get stuck in tight corners. A model with bigger front and rear wheels will assist. This will make them easier to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in moving up and down the high kerbs. The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her baby, and she said that “it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces, gravel tracks, dirt roads and a few hills.” Another option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It can be used from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and an easy fold with one hand. Its most appealing feature is its modularity – it's compatible with all the brands' infant strollers and car seats. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a base. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you live. If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often, you might want to consider a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension that you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair. Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing at first, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre with the size 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has 14-inch rim diameter. PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on a smooth surface. If the tires slide easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a three-wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and are able to be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces easily. Based on the type of buggy you're looking for, there are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect, their fabrics sling seat sits snug inside the frame, in contrast to sitting on top like modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for the best weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It features a sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath really put this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and found that it was able to handle the terrain well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of climbing and descending kerbs'. The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a range of colors that will match your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, including the chicly designed carrycot plus™ which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old. Safety Four wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame. A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is more easy to roll up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred. If you're looking to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear. This allows you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all four-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 kinds of terrain.
