Stability

three wheeler pushchair wheel buggies are remarkably solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll be able to maneuver them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain using the additional wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. They'll also typically come with the option of locking the front wheel to add stability over really rough ground.

Buggies are easy to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are in the market for a seat made of fabric that are breathable, they tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly ensuring the smoothest ride.

Maxi-Cosi is most well-known for its car seat range, but it has recently expanded its product range with the Citylife, a lightweight 3 wheel buggy travel system and pushchair.

A 3-wheeler will typically be more able to deal with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in tight places. However, choosing a model with larger wheels both front and back can help. This will make it easier to push them over rough terrain and can assist you in climbing up and down high curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and said that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks, and some hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from car seat brand Maxi-Cosi which is called Stella. It is suitable from birth, if it is used in conjunction with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the lighter 4-wheelers but it features air-filled tires, three recline positions, and a single-hand fold.

Its primary selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all the brands' car seats and strollers 3 wheels for infants. You can design your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a an easy stroll or a longer one, 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. For instance, air-filled tyres offer a great performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler equipped with more durable tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspension is useful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is tyre size. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for ensuring safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing initially, but decoding it allows you to understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire in 185/70 with 14-inch rim size.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also 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 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 on a 3 wheel buggy is a vital element to look for as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your baby. Having large wheels, which are filled with air and can be locked for stability during jogging is essential to ensure your buggy is capable of maneuvering off roads with ease.

Depending on the type of buggie you're looking for, there are options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. For example, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with perfect geometry and engineering that fits comfortably inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This creates a lower center of gravity and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight evenly to tackle bumps.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a hike through rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well, stating that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even can be a breeze getting up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road option that, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and a 50+ UV hood. You can also select from a range of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy 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 is also safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore easier to pop up and over curbs. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position, and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one to allow you to tackle bumpy roads and rough terrain - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested independently across all kinds of terrain.
