3 Wheel Buggies
Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with great maneuverability. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, ideal for babies from birth.
The wheels are larger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movement over various terrains. The only drawback is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.
Stability
Three-wheel buggies offer plenty of stability. They don't tip over as easily when moving straight. You can also maneuver them more quickly. However, if you try to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and can be prone to tipping over. For this reason, some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.
You can also take on off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Choose models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. They'll also usually come with an adjustable front wheel that locks to give stability over rough ground.
With the correct design, engineering, and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer with just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be easy and easy to handle. They will also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.
If you're in search of a fabric sling, 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 floor and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't have to exert as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the kerb).
Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the striking Citylife. The 3-in-1 model was designed for urban living and is suitable starting at birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has 4 wheels and has an exclusive black pewter frame, which the brand claims is 'light and compact'. It's only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.
Folding
There are a lot of 3 wheel buggies that can be folded down to can fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the smallest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also feature a large, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain in comparison to a model with four wheels but both may get stuck in tight corners. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back will help. This will make it easier to push them across rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down steep curbs.
One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and 3-year-old son and reported that "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles, gravel tracks and dirt roads, as well as on a few hills."
Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) however it has large, air-filled tyres, 3 wheeled strollers recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.
Its primary selling point is its modularity. It's compatible with all the brands' car seats and strollers for infants. This means you can create your ideal travel system for your day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a foundation.
Tyres
The tyres of 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of designs and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.
For example, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or unpaved terrain, you may think about a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tires. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.
The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing however, once you understand it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having the size 185/70 R14 for instance indicates that it is a radial tire that has a size of the 185/70 size with a 14-inch rim diameter.
In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether a pushchair 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 from PU. If they do not then the tires are composed of rubber.
Suspension
The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled and are able to be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also important. This will allow your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces effortlessly.
Depending on the style of buggie you're seeking There are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to being on top of modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.
Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule which boasts a sleek design with large highly manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and a simple handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its tests by going for a ride on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".
The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also features an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns that are up to 12 months old.
Safety
Four wheels make a buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.
A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The seats made of fabric are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seat position and buggy that is easily pushed.
However, if you want to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited since it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear facing 3 wheel stroller one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all types of terrain.
