3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and offers the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy especially if they have fabric slings or modular seat units that are placed perfectly within the frame, providing the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, making them a great option for off-roading (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front to provide additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models and this can mean that they topple over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect design to ensure they stay steady in any weather. They should be able to turn at a single click, be easy to steer with one hand and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces be sure to choose models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with mud, gravel, rock etc. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when working on extremely rough terrain.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your gear (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight 3 wheel stroller, compact, and suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used with a car seat or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should pick one with big tires. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily, while still providing an enjoyable ride. They are also ideal for jogging, as they come with built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they're a bit heavy to push.

The most suitable 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3 wheel pushchair sale-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres, which require pumping occasionally and it can be used to carry children up to the age of 3 wheel stroller and car seat. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the seat shape and she found steering it easy even with her 3-year-old on board.

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's also simple to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram, with a carrycot or infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design delivers an lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never think about how often you'll do this when you're a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for seating 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 (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can be seated in the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline completely, but can be lowered to the lowest point. This should still allow your child plenty of space and headroom.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available. It is positioned snugly inside the frame rather than on top like the modular seat. This provides a lower center of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this kind of seat dealt with the obstacles.

This type of buggy comes with an enormous basket, along with other beneficial features like an extended hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility which can be put on the front of the passengers for improved safety on difficult terrain.

If you're searching for a single baby buggy that can grow with your family There's the new sport(tm) which is a world's first that can take a single infant from day one and change to take two or even 3 after your baby has developed, all within the footprint of one buggy.

Stores

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

A high-quality ATP will have pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for comfort and excellent suspension. It should be able to accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, so you can use it right from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers have noticed that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't fit through all the doors in their homes or small car boot - be sure you know the dimensions of the double buggy 3 wheels once it's folded before buying in case you're concerned about space.

It's worth looking for a 3-wheeler that can take 2 (or even 3 wheeler pushchairs!) This is the best choice for your child's future and will save you money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most sought-after. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggie and later transformed into twin buggies when your baby starts to walk.

Tyres

These tyres absorb 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 discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

They can be difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, so you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres are found on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they're still as robust. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide on smooth and tidy surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres, then you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it is sliding then it's a rubber or PU. You can also test whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres, by sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. This could make your buggy less stable because the foam loses its springy nature. These tyres are also noisy because they generate lots of noise when you turn and drive around the town.
