3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for rough terrain providing the most comfortable ride for your child. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed comfortably in the frame, offering the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, and this makes them an ideal 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 bumps and kerbs as well as rough terrain. Some even have a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3 wheel pushchairs-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they topple over more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to make them very solid in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with an incline of 360o for the front wheel that is ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces you should look for an air-filled model, also known as pneumatic tyres, which are designed to work on non-paved tracks and are able to deal with dirt, gravel, etc. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when working on extremely rough terrain too.

A 3-wheel stroller is an excellent option for runners or for those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly when you plan to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to keep all your equipment (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's Lightweight 3 wheel Buggy, compact and suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with car seats or a carrycot. It also handles a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain, you need one with large wheels. These will cope well over cobbles, grass and dirt tracks while providing the smoothest ride for anyone. They are also ideal for jogging because they come with built-in suspension and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry children up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler loved the design of the seat and found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old on the board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection as well as a high-quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits into a the car's boot space in a small size. It can also be used as a pram, with a carrycot or infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are placed within the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design has an lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never overestimate how often you'll be doing that as new parents!)

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different options to pick from. For newborns, there is the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can be seated in the world-facing or parent facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats aren't fully reclined however, they can be adjusted to the lowest level which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which is set snugly inside the frame instead of on top like a modular seat and this gives a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially over bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this kind of seat dealt with these obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy usually has quite useful features, such as an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and some game-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

Tyres

These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They are typically found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted’s Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said was "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to negotiate the kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure maintained regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, and you should always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they are still just as robust. You can recognise PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft texture. They also slide across flat and tidy surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres, you can determine if they're PU or rubber. If it feels as if it's sliding, then it is a PU. You can also test whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres, by sliding them onto an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain that's associated with this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy quality. Additionally, these kinds of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they make a lot of noise as you turn and navigate your way around the town.
