The wheels are bigger and usually come with suspensions to allow for smooth, fluid movement on different terrains. The only downside to these wheels is that they may be heavier and bulkier to transport and store.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies have a lot of stability. They don't tip over as easily when you are going straight. You can also maneuver more swiftly. If you turn or stop abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain with the 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 as well as other surfaces such as sand, mud and rock. They'll also include an adjustable front wheel that locks to add stability over really rough ground.

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.

If you're looking for a fabric seat, these tend to be lower in the frame compared to modular seats. This means that your baby's center of gravity will be closer to the ground, instantly ensuring a smoother ride.

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

Folding

The smallest models will come with a basic handlebar height adjustment, while others may feature an adjustable suspension or an expandable 50+ UV canopy. They may also have a large, spacious basket and a quick-release brake lever.

The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to deal with off-road conditions as compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can get stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model with bigger wheels both front and back can help. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can assist you in climbing up and down the steep slopes.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath used it with her infant and 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-year-old son and reported that "it does really well on bumpy pavements, cobbles, dirt roads and gravel tracks as well as on a few hills."

Another great option is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer named Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim frame of 54cm wide) but it comes with big air-filled tyres. It also has 3 recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity it's compatible with all of the brand's infant car seats and strollers. This means you can build your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks using the chassis as a foundation.

Tyres

The tyres for 3 wheel pushchair With car seat wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and types of materials. Each comes with its own pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres, offer a smooth ride and great maneuverability, while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you reside.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you require. The suspensions that are strong are great to deal with humps and bumps however they can be quite heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another important factor to consider is the tyre's size. Knowing how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and longevity. The combination of numbers and letters on a tyre's sidewall can seem confusing at first, but decoding it helps you understand the tyre's dimensions. For instance, a tyre's size of '185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radius 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 move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important aspect to consider as it will absorb the bumps and knocks of rough terrain making it much more comfortable for your baby. Large wheels that are filled with air, and can be locked to provide stability when jogging are also crucial. This will enable your buggy to travel on off-road surfaces with ease.

For instance, the Mountain Buggy pioneered all terrain agility in a three-wheel buggie. Their sling seats made of fabrics 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 sits at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly to take on the kerbs.

Another option that is worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that boasts a sleek style with a large, highly maneuverable front wheel, excellent suspension and an easy-to-use twist handbrake. MFM reviewer Kath put the buggy through its paces by walking through rough terrain. She found that it was able to handle it very well, saying that it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, and dirt tracks and makes it easy to go up and down kerbs".

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road choice. It comes in a variety of colors that will match your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that will convert the buggy to a pram. This includes the elegantly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The sling seat is affixed inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuverable.

However, if you'd like to go for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it has suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind not all buggies with 4 wheels are suitable for running (most are NOT, such as the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception, as they have a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been tested by an independent expert across all kinds of terrain.
