3 Wheel Buggies Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution that is ideal from the moment of birth. The wheels are larger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only downside is that they may be heavier and bulkier to store & transport. Stability Three wheel buggies are remarkably stable – they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when going in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you attempt to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and can be prone to tipping over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis. You can also conquer off-road terrain with the extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes and other surfaces like sand, mud and rock. These models also come with wheels that lock on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain. With the right design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime – easy to steer with just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies. If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up a kerb). Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair to its line-up with the striking Citylife. The model is designed for urban living and can be used for newborns with a carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that the brand calls'slim' and compact. It's just 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will come with a basic handlebar height adjustment, while others may have an adjustable suspension or an extended 50+ UV canopy. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that's quick-release. The best 3 wheeler for rough terrain A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as in comparison to a model with four wheels however both can get stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model that has larger wheels on both sides will help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and will assist you in climbing up and down the steep slopes. The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant, and she said that “it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills.” Stella Stella, the all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot. It's a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large, air-filled tyres, 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold. Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible across all the brand's infant strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, no matter if you're looking to go for a a short walk or a longer one by using the chassis. 3 wheel pushchair for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you pick will depend on your needs and the location you live in. If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler with more robust tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight. The size of the tyre can be important. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing until you get the hang of it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14 for instance indicates that it is a radial tire in 185/70 with 14-inch rim diameter. PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across an even surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy makes it more comfortable for your child as it absorbs any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to ensure stability when running are essential. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces with ease. There are many choices for buggy styles to suit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in a three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity, and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to take on bumps. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It has an elegant design, a big wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by going for a ride on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well, saying that it “navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs”. The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a variety of colours that will match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus™ which is a comfy lie-flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old. Safety Four wheels make a buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and easier 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 also tends to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a buggy that can be easily maneuvered. If you want to run with your child, then an all-wheeler is the best option. It has a 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 it is not the case that all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with an exclusive suspension system that has been tested independently across all terrains.
