Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide a lot of stability. They don't fall over as easily when driving straight. They also allow you to maneuver more swiftly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly they'll lose stability and can tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you to tackle off-road terrain. Choose models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces such as sand and rock. They'll also usually have a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same stability standards globally and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, 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 less noticeable kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up a curb).

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat collection, but it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife compact travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and can be used starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat.

The best 3 wheeled buggy for taking on 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, though both may get stuck in tight corners. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels on both sides will help. This makes them easier to push over rough ground and will often help with moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child, and she said that "it was very well-handled on cobbles, bumpy surfaces, gravel tracks, dirt roads and some hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It's suitable from birth 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 primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' baby strollers and car seats. You can build your own travel system, no matter if you want to go on a short walk or take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example, offer an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type of tyre you select will depend on your lifestyle and where you reside.

For example, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you may think about a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to tackle humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Knowing 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, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radius with 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure whether a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires over a smooth surface and tie them. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they do not, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are lockable to provide stability when jogging essential to ensure your buggy is able to navigate off roads with ease.

Depending on the type of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of choices to fit every lifestyle and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed with three-wheel buggie. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This provides an lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to spread weight evenly to take on bumps.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and found that it was able to handle the terrain well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and can be a breeze going up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to lift up and over curbs. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame rather than on top of it like 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, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It comes with a suspension system which allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested by an independent expert across all terrains.
