If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose their stability and fall over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

You can also conquer off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as these can cope with off-road trails as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand and mud. These models also come with an adjustable wheel that locks in the front to improve stability on rough terrain.

With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime - easy to steer with one hand; feature 360o front swivel wheels allowing mobility and agility to be effortless and light in handling.

Folding

There are a lot of 3 wheel buggies which can be folded in a compact way to can be tucked away in smaller spaces. Many of them can be folded using a single hand and are simple to wash down.

Some models may have a large basket and brake levers that are quick-release.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

A 3-wheeled model is typically better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model however both may get stuck in tight corners. However, choosing a model with bigger wheels both front and back can be beneficial. This allows them to push over uneven ground and is often helpful in moving up and down steep kerbs.

One option is the new Roma Atlas, which has been praised for its surprisingly quick handling, despite its 3-wheel design. MFM reviewer Kath tested 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."

Another alternative is the new all-terrain 3 wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi's car seat brand named Stella. It's suitable from birth when used in conjunction with the carrycot and is a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a swift one-hand fold.

Its most appealing feature is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the car seats for infants from the brand and strollers. 3 wheeled pushchair can build your own travel system, whether you want to go on shorter walk or a longer one, using the chassis.

Tyres

For instance, air-filled tyres provide an easy ride and excellent manoeuvrability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The type you pick will be based on your personal preferences and the location you live in.

For instance, if you are planning to travel frequently on rough or muddy terrain, you may be interested in an all-wheeler with more durable tires. Consider the type of suspension you require. The suspensions that are strong are great for tackling bumps and humps but they can be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can be confusing initially, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial with 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're not sure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires on a smooth surface and tie them. If the tires slide easily they are made of PU. If not, then they are made of rubber.

With the perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height to ensure optimal weight distribution to easily tackle kerb pops.

The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is a great alternative. It features sleek design, a huge wheel that's easy to move and comes with a superb suspension. It also features a twist handbrake for ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for a walk through rough ground and she found that it adapted to the terrain well.

The Roma Atlas, like the Urban Glide 2 is a popular off-road option. It is available in a range of colors that will complement your style. It also comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as a large basket. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, such as the chicly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfortable lie-flat crib for babies and infants from 12 months to 12 years old.


Safety

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

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and get up. The seat made of fabric is in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats. This results in a lower seating position and a lighter buggy that is easily manoeuvred.

This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However, not all 4 wheel buggies can be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been independently tested on all types of terrain.
