3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. Many of these feature an upholstered sling seat that has a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution, perfect from birth.

The wheels are larger and, in many cases, include suspension to allow for smooth movements on different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they tend to be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide a lot of stability. They aren't prone to tipping over as easily when moving straight. You can also maneuver more swiftly. However, if you try to turn or stop suddenly, they'll lose stability and could tip over. For this reason, some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel strollers wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. They'll also usually include a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution these buggies can turn at a moment's notice - easy to steer with one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheel that allows mobility and agility to be easy and light to handle. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy to tackle rough terrain

The type you pick will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on roads that are not paved or on rough terrain frequently you may be interested in a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. Consider the kind of suspension you need. Strong suspensions are useful to tackle humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre can be crucial. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre with a size of 185/70 R14 for instance, means that it is a radial tire in 185/70 with a 14-inch rim diameter.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the jolts and bumps of rough terrain, making it more comfortable for your child.

You can also select from a range of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns up to 12 months old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the buggy more stable and less likely to tip and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to lift up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be better suited since it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads be aware that not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested independently across all terrains.
