3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability, and are a stylish, slim frame. Many of them have seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth. The wheels are bigger and often include suspension to allow for smooth movement on different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store & transport. Stability Three-wheel buggies have a lot of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over as easily when going straight. You can also maneuver more swiftly. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and may fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis. You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rocks and sand. These models will also have a lockable wheel on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain. The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards globally and tests as buggies with four wheels. If you're looking for a fabric 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 – instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over the Kerb). Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban life, and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and has a unique pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller space. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded in one hand and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that's quick-release. The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can get stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model with larger wheels on both sides can help. This allows you to push them across rough terrain and can assist you in climbing up and down high curbs. The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her child and said that “it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks and even some hills.” Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold. Its primary selling point is its modularity, though – it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. You can build your own travel system, regardless of whether you want to go on a short walk or a longer one, using the chassis. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will depend on your lifestyle and where you live. For instance, if are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you might be interested in a 3-wheeler with sturdier tires. Consider the type of suspension you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight. Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of “185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14 inch rim diameter. In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and 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 across a smooth and tied surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made from PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber. Suspension The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an essential element to look for as it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are filled with air, and are able to be locked to provide stability while jogging are important. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly. Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for There are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly to tackle the kerbs. 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, a great suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and makes a light work of climbing and descending kerbs'. 3 wheel pushchair is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, such as the elegantly designed carrycot plus™ which is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old. Safety Four wheels make the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair. A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and climb up. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This creates a low seat position and an automobile that is easily moved. If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear one. This allows you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a specially-designed suspension system that's been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
