Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as four-wheeled pushchairs when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll notice that you can maneuver them more quickly and effortlessly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to increase the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road routes as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand, and mud. These models will also have a lockable wheel on the front to increase stability over rough terrain.

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

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain in comparison to a model with four wheels, though both may get stuck in tight corners. A model with bigger rear and front wheels can help. This makes it easier to push them across rough terrain and will assist you in climbing up and down high curbs.

The brand new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it with her infant and her 3-year-old, and said "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on a few hills."

Stella, the new Hauck Rapid 3 Pushchair - Black Lightweight Three-Wheel-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is a great alternative. It's suitable for babies when used with the carrycot. It's a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) however it has large air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions and a fast one-hand fold.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are offered in a variety of styles and materials. Each one has its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example provide an effortless ride and superior maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you pick will depend on your lifestyle and the location you live in.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently, you might be interested in a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Think about the type of suspension you require. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Understanding the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre can be confusing initially, but decoding it will allow you 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 that has a size of 185/70 with a 14-inch rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on an even surface. If the tires slide easily, they are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a three wheel buggy is a vital aspect to consider as it absorbs the smacks and bumps of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability when running are crucial. This will enable your buggy to navigate off-road surfaces with ease.

For example the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their fabrics sling seats are designed with precise geometry and engineering that fits perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to conquer kerbs.

It also features an adjustable handbrake that can be turned to make it easier of use. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its trials by going for a ride on a rough terrain. She was impressed with how it performed admirably, saying that it "navigates over grass, bumpy sidewalks, cobbles and dirt tracks, and makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that will match your style. It also comes with a movable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) which is a cosy 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 more easy to maneuver. It can also be safer for your Baby Jogger Summit X3 - Midnight Black Pushchair (click for more) as their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity, making it easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seat sits in the frame instead of over it as modular seats do, which creates a low seating position, and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuverable.

If you're looking to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be better suited since it has 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 Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a specially-designed suspension system that's been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
