Stability

three wheeler pushchair-wheel buggies have lots of stability. They don't fall over as easily when you are going straight. You can also maneuver them more quickly. If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and may be prone to tipping over. This is why some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road trails and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile with 360o front swivel wheel. They also pass the same global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

If you are in the market for a seat made of cloth they are typically 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.

Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight pushchair and travel system to its line-up with the attractive Citylife. This 3 wheel pushchairs-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an exclusive pewter-black aluminum frame, which the brand describes as'slim' and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded down to fit into smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. The smallest models will have an easy handlebar height adjustment, while others could have an adjustable suspension and an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever with quick release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. But, picking a model with bigger wheels both front and back can help. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down high curbs.

One option is the latest Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her baby and twin 3 wheel stroller-year-old and said "it handles really well over cobbles, bumpy pavements, dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand, called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot and is a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its main selling 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 your day-to-day or longer walks, using just the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel stroller reversible seat wheel buggies are available in a range of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example offer an effortless ride and superior manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For instance, if plan to travel often on rough or muddy terrain, you might think about a 3-wheeler that has sturdier tires. Take into consideration the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding the tyre's size is essential for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can appear confusing, but once you decode it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre having a size of 185/70 R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire that has a size of 185/70 with a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across an even and secure surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they don't, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and lockable to ensure stability while jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy will be able to navigate off roads with ease.

There are many choices for buggy styles that will suit any budget and lifestyle. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with the perfect design and engineering to fit snugly inside the frame, rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to tackle kerbs.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple handbrake with a twist. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it on a walk through rough ground and she found that it handled the terrain really well. She said that it 'flies effortlessly over bumpy grass, cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes light work of going up and down the kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, like the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar, a large basket and an ultraviolet hood that is 50+. You can also choose from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram. This includes the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy lie flat crib for babies and infants that are up to 12 months old.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It can also be safer for your baby as their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to pop over curbs and walk up. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is better suited as it comes with 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 - 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 by an independent party on all types of terrain.
