3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is perfect for off-roading, offering the most comfortable ride for your child. They can also be easier to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seats that are set perfectly in the frame, offering the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

three wheeler pushchair-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this makes them a great option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions which means they could fall more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. They must be able to pivot at a whim and be able to steer with just one hand and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them perfect for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging, look out for a model with air-filled tyres, also known as pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with rocks, mud, and so on. Many all-terrain buggies feature a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when tackling extremely rough terrain too.

A three-wheeled stroller is a great choice for those who run and like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your gear (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight, compact and suitable from birth and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It can also handle some light jogging but isn't intended for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should pick one with large tires. These are made to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with ease and still provide a smooth ride. They are also ideal for jogging as they have a suspension built-in and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the trade off is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally, and it can carry a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and she found it easy to steer even with her 3 wheeler stroller-year-old son on the seat.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It comes with a movable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection, and an extremely high-quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits in a small car boot. It can also be used as a pram with an infant car seat for infants and toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked within the buggie's frame instead of on top 3 Wheel strollers of it like modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot think about how often you'll do this when you're a new parent!)

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in 3 wheel stroller reversible seat wheelers. For babies, there is the option to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats do not fully recline, but they can be lowered down to the lowest point. This should give your child plenty of space and headroom.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available. It is set snugly inside the frame rather than on top like an open-back seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this kind of seat negotiated these obstacles.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy generally has pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and some game-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to improve their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.

If you're searching for a single baby buggy that will expand with your family, there's the brand-new sport(tm) that is a world's first that can take a single newborn from day dot and then adapt to take 2 or even 3 once your little ones have developed and all within the footprint of one buggy.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable to push with one hand and is also ideal for handling difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A top-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres, a padded grip for comfort and excellent suspension. It is also equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat so you can use it from the moment you are born.

MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't pass through all doors of their homes or small car booties - make sure you know the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before buying if you're worried about space.

Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3 wheel stroller with bassinet!) seats. This is the best 3 wheel buggy choice for your future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the most popular; it can be used as a single from day dot and later converts to twin buggies when your baby starts walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They are commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tires of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to negotiate the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

They can be difficult to maintain and will need to have their air pressure maintained regularly. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to make sure that you have a repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump in case you go traveling with your buggy.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs because they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres, but they are just as robust. You can identify PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide across flat and tidy surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over each one. If it feels hard, then it's made of rubber, when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres by sliding them onto a flat, clean surface. They should roll smoothly and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are often used in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain that's common to this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable as the foam will lose its springy feel. These tyres also make a lot of noise, as they make a lot noise when you turn or drive around the town.
