3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-roading and provides the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or seat units, which are positioned tightly in the frame and deliver the best 3 wheel travel system geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, which makes them a great option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps and rough ground. Some models even feature a lockable front tire for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, can topple over more readily. But, the top 3-wheel pushchairs have perfect geometry and engineering to make them very solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also have an incline of 360o for the front wheel that is ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to handle mud, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain too.

A 3-wheel pram is also a good option for runners or for those who like to walk quickly and uphill, especially if you're planning to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features the flat-reclining seat, five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space for all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for babies and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious runners.

Weight

If you are looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should pick one with big tires. They are designed to tackle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks easily, while still providing smooth riding. They are also great for jogging since they're equipped with suspension and are simple to get up and down kerbs. However, they are quite heavy to push.

The most suitable 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels, and an swivel wheel lockable to the front which makes it very maneuverable. It has air-filled tyres that require pumping up every now and then. It can be used by children up until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat, and she found steering it easy even with her 3 wheeler pushchairs year old in the seat.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move up and down kerbs, and can fit into small car boot. It can be used as a stroller with an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned in the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never overestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

There are a variety of options for seating in 3 wheelers. For babies it is possible to use the carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can use the parent-facing or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. It is important to note that the seats do not recline completely, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It's a benefit that it is placed within the frame, instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This results in a lower centre of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push, particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this kind of seat negotiated these challenges.

This type of buggy comes with an enormous basket, along with other useful features, such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights that can be placed in front of the occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

If you're seeking a buggy that will grow with your family it's the sport(tm) is a world first that can take in a newborn and then be modified to fit three or four children as they grow, all within a single footprint.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy much more sturdy to push one-handed and also perfect for handling rough terrain. However, it also means that the shopping basket can't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A top-quality ATP will have pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for comfort and excellent suspension. It should also be able to take the form of a car seat and carrycot which means you can use it from birth.

The MFM reviewers noted that the 3 Wheel Travel Stroller-wheeler frame didn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to check out the dimensions of the buggy when it is folded before purchasing.

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your future and will save you money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most well-known. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggy, and then converted into twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child an easier ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They're commonly found on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also said 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.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and need to be topped up frequently. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, which is why you should always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres can be used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are just as durable. You can recognise PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft texture. They also slide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres, you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it is sliding then it is a rubber tyre, which is a. You can also check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres by sliding them on an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain that's associated with this kind of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam loses its springy nature. These tyres also make a lot of noise because they generate lots of noise when you turn or drive around town.
