3 Wheel All Terrain Buggy Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of them have a fabric sling seat with a comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are larger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid moving on different terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and more bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are going straight. You can also manoeuvre faster. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. They'll also come with the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the ground which means a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or exertion to get the buggy up and over a Kerb).

Maxi-Cosi is best known for its car seats However, it has recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of 3 wheel double pushchair wheel buggies which can be folded compactly and can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with 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 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 best 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in difficult spots. A model with larger front and rear wheels will assist. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and is often helpful in getting up and down high kerbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and her 3-year-old, and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on some hills."

Another option is the latest 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand named Stella. It is suitable from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can design your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres, offer a smooth ride and great maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and where you reside.

For instance, if you plan to travel often on rough or unpaved terrain, you might be interested in a 3 wheel pushchair off road-wheeler with sturdier tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the tyre's size. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire in the 185/70 size with 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on the surface with a smooth surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled and that can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, instead of on top like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight easily to tackle kerbs.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its trials by going for a ride on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This results in a low seating position and a buggy that can be easily moved.

However, if you'd like to go out for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all types of terrain.
