3 Wheel Buggies
Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of them come with a fabric sling with a cosy lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are ideal starting at birth.
The wheels are bigger and often have suspensions for smooth movements on different terrains. The only drawback is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.
Stability
Three wheel buggies are very stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when they're in a straight line, and you'll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. However, if you try to stop or turn suddenly they'll lose stability and may be prone to tipping over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheeler strollers-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.
The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain.
With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer with just one hand; have 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be easy and easy to handle. They also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.
If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then they tend to be set lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the floor which means a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to get the buggy over and up a Kerb).
Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light travel system and pushchair to its range with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has 4 wheels and uses an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'slim and compact' - it's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.
Folding
There are many three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can fit into smaller spaces. A majority of these buggies are able to be folded with one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the smaller models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as brake levers that are quick-release.
The most efficient lightweight 3 wheel pushchair wheeler for rough terrain
A 3-wheeler is likely to be more able to deal with off-road conditions than a 4-wheel model, but both can be stuck in tight spots. However, choosing a model that has larger wheels both front and back can help. This allows you to push them over rough terrain and will aid in getting up and down the steep slopes.
The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3 wheeler pushchairs-year-old son and reported that "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles, gravel tracks and dirt roads as well as on some hills."
Another alternative is the newest 3-wheel buggy that is all-terrain from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It can be used from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, however, it comes with air-filled tires with three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.
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, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or take a longer stroll, by using the chassis.
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, air-filled tyres provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you select will depend on your needs and the location you live in.
For instance, if intend to frequently travel on rough or muddy terrain, you might want to consider an all-wheeler with more durable tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.
Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the tyre dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14-inch rim diameter.
In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you aren't sure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on the surface with a smooth surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they do not then the tires are made of rubber.
Suspension
The suspension of a three-wheel buggy can make it more comfortable for your child since it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to ensure stability when running are important. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly.
There are a variety of buggy styles that will suit any budget and lifestyle. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame instead of on top like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight easily to conquer the kerbs.
The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports sleek design, a huge wheel that is easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also comes with the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by taking it for a walk through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".
The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable, flat bed for newborns or babies up to 12 month old.
Safety
Having four wheels makes a buggy much more stable and less likely to tip and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.
A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and climb up. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of over it as modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.
However, if you want to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel to allow you to tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
