3 wheel buggies provide excellent maneuverability in a stylish and slim frame. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, ideal from the moment of birth.

The wheels are larger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over different terrains. The only drawback is that they may be heavier and more bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line and you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Choose models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road paths, sand and mud, and other surfaces, such as sand and rock. These models will also have an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer using just one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow agility and mobility to be easy and light to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, then they are typically placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a less noticeable kerb pop (you do not need to apply the same amount of pressure or effort to lift the buggy up and over the curb).

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat collection However, it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight 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. It comes with 4 wheels and uses an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. Certain models may come with large baskets and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheel double stroller wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

A 3 wheel stroller travel system-wheel buggy will usually be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in tight places. A model with larger rear and front wheels can assist. This will make them easier to push over rough ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and reported that "it handled really well on cobbles, bumpy surfaces gravel tracks, dirt roads, and some hills."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheeler pushchair wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand, called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' infant strollers and car seats. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each has its own pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or on rough terrain frequently, you might think about a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension that you need. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to tackle humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is crucial. Understanding the tyre size is important for safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres may be confusing at first, but decoding it allows you to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has an 185/70 size R14, for example, means that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 and has a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you aren't sure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, slide the tires across an even surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made from PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy makes it more comfortable for your child because it will absorb any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and lockable to ensure stability while jogging is crucial to ensure that your buggy will be able to navigate off roads with ease.

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 that fits snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity, and sits at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly to tackle bumps.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It features sleek design, a big wheel that is easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it was able to handle the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and makes light work of climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It is available in a range of colors that will complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat bed for newborns and babies that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable and less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair 3 wheels.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to get over curbs and get up. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has a suspension system which allows the front wheel to be independent from the rear. This will allow you to navigate rough terrain or bumpy roads. However it is not the case that all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party across all kinds of terrain.
