3 wheel buggies offer excellent maneuverability, and are a stylish, streamlined frame. A lot of them have a fabric sling with an incredibly comfortable lay flat bed, perfect weight distribution and are ideal starting at birth.

The wheels are bigger and often have suspensions for smooth movement over various terrains. The only downside is that they could be heavier and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are very stable - they don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase 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 called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road paths and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. These models will also have wheels that lock in the front to improve the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment's notice - easy to steer with one hand; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be effortless and easy to handle. They also meet the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're in search of a fabric sling seat, these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's centre of gravity is closer to the floor and provides a more comfortable ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply as much pressure or effort to get the buggy up and over the curb).

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the eye-catching Citylife. This 3-in-1 is perfect for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that is described by the brand as'slim' and compact. It's smaller at 2cm than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There's a variety of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit into smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the tiniest 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 brake levers that are quick-release.

The best 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model that has larger wheels on both sides can help. This allows you to push them across rough terrain, and can help you get up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its remarkable agility despite its 3 wheel stroller for running-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant, and she said that "it was very well-handled on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and even a few hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It is suitable for babies from birth when used with a carrycot. It's a bit bigger than the lightweight 3 wheel stroller 4-wheelers, but it has air-filled tires and three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's baby strollers and car seats. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks using the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a range of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a smooth ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres are more durable. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place it is that you live.

For instance, if are planning to travel frequently on unpaved paths or rough terrain, you may be interested in a 3-wheeler with sturdier tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Understanding the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can appear confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the tyre dimensions. A tyre that has the size 185/70 R14, for example is a radial tire with a diameter of 185/70 with 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on an even and secure surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a 3 wheel buggy is an important component to look for because it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and that can be locked to provide stability while jogging are important. This will allow your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces easily.

There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every lifestyle and budget. The Mountain Buggy, for example was the first to introduce all-terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, offering the lowest centre of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution to easily tackle the kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to maneuver and combines it with exemplary suspension. It also comes with an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy its tests by going for a ride on rough terrain. She was impressed with how it was able to handle it very well and claimed that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks and allows you to easily go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It comes in a variety of colours that match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats to transform the buggy into a pram, including the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfortable lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a low seat position and an automobile that is easily moved.

If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best option. It has a suspension system which allows the front wheel to move independently from the rear wheel. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However there are some limitations to four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all types of terrain.
