Three-wheel buggies are stylish and sleek, with excellent maneuverability. Many of these feature seats made of fabric that have a cosy lay flat bed and a perfect weight distribution that is ideal for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger and, in many cases, have suspensions for smooth movement over different terrains. The only downside is that they could be more heavy and bulkier to store and transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies provide a lot of stability. They don't fall over more easily when moving straight. You can also manoeuvre more swiftly. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. For this reason, certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road trails and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. They'll also typically include a lockable front wheel to provide stability on 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; they have 360o front swivel wheels that allow mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling. They also meet the same stability standards worldwide and test as 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a fabric sling seat, then these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground - instantly delivering a smoother ride and a lighter kerb pop (you don't need to apply the same amount of pressure or exertion to get the buggy over and up the curb).

Best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a lightweight travel system and pushchair 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 4 wheels and a unique pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'slim and compact'. It's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a variety of three wheel buggies that 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. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, while others have adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Some models could have a large basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3 wheeled buggies-wheel buggy will usually be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in tight places. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can help. This makes them easier to push across rough terrain and can help in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly responsive handling despite its three-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her infant and 3-year-old son and reported that "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on a few hills."

Stella Stella, the brand new 3-wheel all-terrain buggy from Maxi-Cosi is another great option. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's smaller than the light 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 wheeled pushchair recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity - it's compatible across all the brand's infant strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, regardless of whether you're planning to take a shorter walk or a longer one by using the chassis.

Tyres

The tyres of 3 wheel stroller brands wheel stroller and car seat (you could try this out) wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons. For instance, tyres that are filled with air provide a comfortable performance and a smooth ride, whereas foam-filled tyres last longer. The type you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live.

For example, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or muddy terrain, you may think about an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. A strong suspension is ideal for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is tyre size. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for ensuring safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing, but once you decode it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14 inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, try sliding the tires on the surface with a smooth surface. If they slide easily then the tires are made from PU. If they don't then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it absorbs the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it more comfortable for your child. Large wheels that are air-filled, and are able to be locked to ensure stability while jogging are essential. This will allow your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces effortlessly.

There are a variety of buggy designs to fit every lifestyle and budget. For instance the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility with its three-wheel buggies. Their sling seats made of fabrics are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering that fits perfectly inside the frame rather than on top, like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity and is placed at the perfect height to distribute weight easily to conquer the kerbs.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, a great suspension and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by walking through rough terrain. She was impressed with how it handled it really well and said that it "navigates over grass, bumpy cobbles, sidewalks and dirt tracks, and even makes it easy to drive up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to suit your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also pick from a range of infant car seats to convert the buggy into a pram, including the stylishly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The seats of the fabric sling are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a low seat and buggy that is easily pushed.

If you're looking to go for an exercise with your child then a four-wheeler is better suited as it comes with suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel 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 like 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.
