3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect from the moment of birth. The wheels are bigger and often have suspensions for smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be heavier and bulkier to transport and store. Stability Three-wheel buggies have lots of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are moving straight. 3 wheeler pushchair can also maneuver faster. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and could fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis. You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Choose models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as sand and rock. These models will also have an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability over rough terrain. The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies. If you're looking for a fabric seat, these tend to be smaller in the frame as compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing an easier ride. Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair 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 car seat or carrycot for infants. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact' – it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There's a wide selection of 3 wheel buggies that fold up to fit in smaller spaces. They can be folded with one hand and are simple to wash down. Some of the smallest models have a simple height-of-handlebar adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have large baskets and brake levers that are quick-release. The most efficient 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain A 3-wheel buggy will usually be more able to deal with off-road terrain than a 4-wheel model, although both models can get stuck in difficult places. But, picking a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This will make them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in getting up and down high kerbs. The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her infant and 3-year-old son and reported that “it does really well on cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on some hills.” Another option is the latest 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It is suitable from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the lighter 4-wheelers however, it comes with air-filled tires and three recline positions and a single-hand fold. Its primary selling point is its modularity, though it's compatible with all the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. This means you can create your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a base. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air offer an effortless ride and superior maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you choose will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside. If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight. The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on a tyre sidewall may be confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 with 14-inch 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, try sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is a vital component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy is able to navigate off road surfaces with ease. Based on the type of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats, offering an lower center of gravity and sitting at the ideal height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has sleek design, a big wheel that's easy to move and comes with a superb suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and found that it handled the terrain really well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, pavements, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze getting 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 complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket, and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the stylishly designed carrycot plus™ which is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old. Safety Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair. A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and get up. The fabric sling seats are built into the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This creates a low seat position and buggy that is easily pushed. If you're looking to run with your child, an all-wheeler is the best option. It has a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear one. This allows you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a specially-designed suspension system that's been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
