3 Wheel Buggies
Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of them have an upholstered sling seat that has an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.
The wheels are bigger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only downside is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store & transport.
Stability
Three wheel buggies are very stable — they don’t tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they’re in a straight line and you’ll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you try to stop or turn abruptly they’ll lose stability and could be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.
You can also tackle off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. These models also come with a lockable wheel in the front to improve stability on rough terrain.
With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime — easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.
If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby’s center of gravity will be closer to the ground — instantly providing a smoother ride.
Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its range with the striking Citylife. This 3 wheeler buggies-in-1 is perfect for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and uses an exclusive 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 three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smaller models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.
The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain
A 3-wheeler is likely to be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both models can get stuck in difficult spots. However, choosing a model with larger wheels on both sides can help. This allows you to push them over rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down steep curbs.
One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her infant and 3-year-old son and reported that «it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on some hills.»
Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It is suitable 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 and three recline positions and a one-handed fold.
Its primary selling point is its modularity it’s compatible with all of the brands’ infant car seats and strollers. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a starting point.
Tyres
The tyres of 3 wheel infant stroller wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.
For example, if you plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might want to consider a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.
Another important factor to consider is the tyre’s size. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre may be confusing initially, but understanding it will allow you to comprehend the tyre’s dimensions. For instance, a tyre’s 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 also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren’t sure if a pushchair’s tires are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface. If the tires slide smoothly they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.
Suspension
The suspension on a 3 wheeler buggy wheel buggy is an essential component to look for because it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are ideally air-filled and can be locked to ensure stability while jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy is capable of navigating off roads with ease.
There are many options for buggy styles that will suit any lifestyle and budget. For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat sits snug inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top 3 wheel strollers like modular seats, resulting in an lower center of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops.
Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its tests by taking it for a walk on rough terrain. She found that it handled it really well and said that it «navigates over bumpy grass, sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs».
The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to complement your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.
Safety
The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.
A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.
However, if you’d like to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited since it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel 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 like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that’s been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
