Stability

If you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose stability and can fall over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel also allows you tackle off-road terrain. Be sure to look for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road paths and other surfaces like rocks, sand, and mud. These models also come with a lockable wheel on the front, which will increase the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They also meet the same global stability standards and test as 4-wheel buggies.

Some models could have an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeler for rocky terrain

A 3-wheeled buggy is usually better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model, though both may get stuck in tight corners. However, choosing a model that has larger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and will help you get up and down high curbs.

One option is the brand new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its agile handling despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out with her child and reported that "it did really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, gravel tracks, dirt roads and even some hills."

Stella, the new all-terrain 3-wheel buggy by Maxi-Cosi, is another option. It can be used from birth if used with a carrycot. It's slightly bigger than the 4-wheelers that are lighter, but it features air-filled tires and three recline positions and a one-handed fold.

Its main selling feature is its modularity. It's compatible with all of the brands' infant strollers and car seats. You can create your own travel system, no matter if you're planning to take a a short walk or a longer one using the chassis.

Tyres

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may be interested in a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. Strong suspensions are useful for tackling bumps and humps however they can be quite heavy, adding to the overall weight.

The size of the tyre is crucial. Knowing how to understand tyre sizing is vital for maintaining safety, performance, and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall may appear confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For example, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radius 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 if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If they move easily, then the tires are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheeled buggy can make it more comfortable for your child since it absorbs any knocks or bumps that occur from rough terrain. Having large wheels, that are ideally air-filled and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure your buggy is capable of navigating off road surfaces with ease.

The sling seats made of fabric are designed with perfect design and engineering to fit perfectly inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. This gives an lower center of gravity and allows it to be placed at the right height to spread weight evenly to tackle the kerbs.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another great option. It sports sleek design, a large wheel that's easy to maneuver and is paired with an impressive suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she was impressed with how it handled the terrain really well saying that it 'navigates effortlessly over bumpy grass, pavements, cobbles dirt tracks, and makes a light work of climbing and descending kerbs'.

It also has an adjustable handlebar, a large basket, and a 50+ UV hood. You can also choose from a range of infant car seats that will transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm) which is a comfy lie-flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

The presence of four wheels makes the buggy more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to pop over curbs and climb up. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which creates a low seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that is easily maneuvered.

However, if you want to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all kinds of terrain.
