3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. A lot of them come with an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal from birth. The wheels are larger and often have suspension to allow for smooth, fluid mobility on various terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they can be more bulky and heavy to store and transport. Stability Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose their stability and may be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis. You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. These models will also have an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability over rough terrain. With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to steer with just one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies. If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up the curb). Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its range with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels and an unique pewter-black frame, which the brand describes as'slim and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold down to fit in smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Some models could have large baskets and a brake lever that's quick-release. The most reliable 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both models can get stuck in difficult places. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and will help you get up and down the steep slopes. The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and reported that “it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills.” Stella Stella, the 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It is suitable from birth if used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it has air-filled tires with three recline positions and a single-hand fold. Its primary selling point is its modularity. 3 wheel pushchair with all of the brands' infant strollers and car seats. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using only the chassis as a base. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you select will depend on your lifestyle and the place you live. For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair. The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing however, once you understand it, you'll be able to comprehend the tyre's dimensions. A tyre that has an 185/70 size R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire in the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim size. PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface. If the tires slide smoothly and smoothly, they're made of PU. If they don't then the tires are composed of rubber. Suspension The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces easily. Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for There are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with precise design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly to tackle kerbs. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports a sleek design, a big 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 trials by walking on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well, saying 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 match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus™ that is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies from 12 months to 12 years old. Safety Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame. A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity, making it easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred. However, if you want to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it has a suspension system 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 buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all types of terrain.
