Three-wheel buggies look elegant and sleek, with great maneuverability. A lot of them come with seats made of fabric that have a cosy lying flat bed and excellent weight distribution, perfect from the moment of birth.

The wheels are bigger and often come with suspension for agile smooth movement over different terrains. The only drawback to these wheels is that they may be bulkier and heavier to store and transport.

Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely solid - they don't fall over as easily as pushchairs with four wheels when traveling in a straight line. Also, you'll find that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and easily. If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also tackle off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Find models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and mud, and other surfaces like sand and rock. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks on the front, which will increase stability on rough terrain.

With the right design, engineering, and weight distribution these buggies can be turned on a dime easy to steer with one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels that allow 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 the 4-wheel buggies.

If you're looking for a seat made of fabric, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly providing a smoother ride.

Maxi-Cosi is a household name for its car seat range however, it recently expanded its product line with the Citylife, a lightweight travel system and pushchair. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living and comes with a baby car seat or carrycot. It comes with 4 wheels and has an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame that the manufacturer claims is 'light and compact' - it's actually only 2cm wider than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are a lot of three wheel buggies that can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. A lot of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy to clean. Some of the smallest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3 wheel push chair-wheel buggy will usually be more adept at dealing with off-road conditions better than a 4-wheel model, but both can get stuck in difficult places. A model with bigger front and rear wheels can assist. This allows them to push over rough ground and can help in moving up and down the high kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her baby and 3-year-old and said "it is very well-handled over bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks and also on a few hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand, called Stella. It can be used from birth when used with a carrycot. It is slightly larger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires and three recline positions and an easy fold with one hand.

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-today or longer walks using the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a smooth ride and great maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you select will depend on your needs and where you live.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently, you might want to consider a three-wheeler that has more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspension is useful for handling bumps and humps, but it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be crucial. Understanding how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing, but once you decode it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre's size of "185/70 R14 is a sign 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're unsure whether the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made 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 which are filled with air and are lockable for stability during jogging is essential to ensure that your buggy is capable of maneuvering off road surfaces easily.

Depending on the style of buggie you're looking for, there are options to suit all lifestyles and budgets. For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a 3-wheel buggies. The sling seats made of fabric are designed with the perfect geometry and engineering to fit comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This provides a lower center of gravity, and allows it to be placed at the right height to distribute weight easily to take on kerbs.

Another great option is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension and a simple twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a hike through rough terrain and she was impressed with how it adapted to the terrain well. She said that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes light work of going up and down kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also select from a range of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat mattress for babies and infants from 12 months 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 safer for your child as the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity, making it easier to pop up and over curbs. The fabric sling seat sits inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This makes for a low-slung seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.

If you're looking to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best 3 wheel stroller with car seat option. It comes with a suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to move independently from the rear wheel. This will allow you to take on rough terrain or bumpy roads. However, not all four-wheel buggies can be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with an exclusive suspension system that has been independently tested across all terrains.
