3 Wheel Buggies Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of them come with an sling made of fabric with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution, and are perfect from birth. The wheels are bigger and typically come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid movement on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they tend to be more bulky and heavy to transport and store. Stability Three wheel buggies are very stable – they don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis. The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. Find models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. They'll also usually have an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability on rough terrain. The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and tests as buggies with four wheels. If you're looking for a seat made of fabric they are typically lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring a smoother ride. Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its range with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is compatible starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It comes with 4 wheels and an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There are three wheel pushchair of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded compactly and fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using just one hand, and are easy to wipe down. 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. They may also feature a large, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release. The most efficient 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more adept at dealing with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in difficult places. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels both front and back can help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain and will help you get up and down steep curbs. One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and her 3-year-old, and said “it handles really well over bumpy pavements, cobbles, gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on some hills.” Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a little bigger than the lightweight 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold. Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' baby strollers and car seats. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a starting point. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres offer an easy ride and excellent manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and the place it is that you live. For example, if you intend to frequently travel on rough or muddy terrain, you may think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight. The size of the tyre is crucial. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre's sidewall may be confusing initially, but understanding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre size of '185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial with 14 inches of rim diameter. 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 across a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires slide smoothly, they are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are composed of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy can make it more comfortable for your child as it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces easily. There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering that fits comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight evenly to conquer bumps. Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles, dirt tracks and even makes light work of going up and down kerbs'. The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus™ which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old. Safety Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely to tip over and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your baby since 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 made of fabric are placed inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This creates a low seat and an automobile that is easily moved. If you want to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It comes with an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear one. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with an exclusive suspension system that has been tested independently across all types of terrain.
