3 Wheel Buggies

3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, sleek frame. Many of them come with a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are suitable starting at birth.

The wheels are larger, and they also often have suspensions for smooth movement on a variety of terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they can be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very 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 stop or turn suddenly they'll lose their stability and can fall over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

You can also take on off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Choose models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces like sand and rock. These models will also have wheels that lock on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range, but it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3 wheel running stroller-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of 3 wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to fit into smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using one hand and are easy to wash down. Some of the smaller models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models may have large baskets and brake levers that are quick-release.

The most efficient cheap 3 wheel buggy wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road conditions compared to a 4-wheeled model however both can get stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This makes them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in getting up and down high kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and best 3 wheel stroller-year-old son and reported that "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, gravel tracks and dirt roads and also on a few hills."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) but has big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' infant strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're looking to go for a an easy stroll or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel stroller with bassinet wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

For instance, if intend to frequently travel on rough or muddy terrain, you may want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial to ensure safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with a 14 inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled and can be locked to provide stability while jogging are crucial. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.

Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for, there are choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates an lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to spread weight evenly to take on bumps.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has sleek design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by taking it for a walk on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop up and over curbs. The seats made of fabric are placed inside the frame, not on top 3 wheel strollers like modular seats. This results in a lower seat and buggy that is easily pushed.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it will have a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one which allows you to navigate bumpy roads and rough terrain Be aware that 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 an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all kinds of terrain.
