3 Wheel Buggies Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of them come with a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable from birth. The wheels are bigger and often have suspension to ensure smooth, agile moving on different terrains. The only drawback is that they could be heavier and bulkier to store and transport. Stability Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when they're in a straight line, and you'll be able to maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to stop or turn suddenly they'll lose their stability and could tip over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis. You can also conquer 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 routes and other surfaces like rocks, sand and mud. They'll also have the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough ground. The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies. If you are looking for a seat made of cloth that are breathable, they 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 ensuring the smoothest ride. Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded compactly and fit into smaller spaces. Many can be folded with just 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. They may also have large, spacious baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release. The most efficient 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain A 3-wheeler is likely to be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in difficult spots. But, picking a model with larger wheels on both sides can be beneficial. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs. One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby and said that “it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles gravel tracks, dirt roads and a few hills.” Another great alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand, called Stella. It is suitable for babies from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lightweight 4-wheelers, 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 across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. This means you can create your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a starting point. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example offer an easy ride and excellent maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live. For example, if you are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you might think about a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension you need. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight. Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre with an 185/70 size R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 with 14-inch rim diameter. In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're not sure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are filled with air, and that can be locked to provide stability when running are important. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease. Based on the type of buggie you're seeking, there are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with precise design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to take on bumps. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has an elegant design, a large wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by walking on a rough terrain. She found that it performed admirably and claimed that it “navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and even allows you to easily go up and down kerbs”. The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and like the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus™ which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old. Safety Having four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame. A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to pop up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not over it as modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered. If you're planning to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all types of terrain.
