3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look stylish and sleek, and have excellent maneuverability. A lot of them have a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, which is ideal for weight distribution and are suitable from birth.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have a lot of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are moving straight. You can also maneuver more swiftly. However, if you try to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and may fall over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. They'll also typically include a lockable front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They will also pass the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly providing an easier ride.

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as when compared to a four-wheeled model but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels on both sides can help. This allows them to push across rough terrain and will often help with getting up and down high kerbs.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each has its own pros and cons.

The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and where it is that you live.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently, you might think about a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. Think about the kind of suspension you need. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the tyre's dimensions. A tyre that has a size of 185/70 R14 for instance is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 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's tires are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it absorbs the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled and are able to be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also crucial. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces with ease.

MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy through its trials by going for a ride through rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, 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 range of colours to complement your style.

This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable.

The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all terrains.
