3 wheeler Buggies (lindegaard-Kaspersen-3.blogbright.net)

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-roading and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy, especially those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed snugly in the frame, offering the best 3 wheel travel system ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this 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 large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models even feature a lockable front tire to give extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3 wheel double pushchair-wheel buggies have lower center of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, could fall more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel buggies have the an ideal geometry and design to ensure they are stable in all conditions. They must be able to pivot at a whim, be easy to steer with just one hand and have a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them ideal for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on tracks that are not paved, and are able to withstand rocks, mud, gravel and other debris. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when tackling extremely rough terrain too.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great option for runners and those who 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 can recline flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for infants and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can handle difficult terrain, then you'll need one with big wheels. These will cope well over grass, cobbles and dirt tracks while providing a smooth ride for all passengers. These are also great for jogging as they have a suspension built-in and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they're a bit heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels, and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she was able to steer it easily with her 3-year-old on board.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, with a movable handlebar as well as a hood that is of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits in a the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a pram with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked within the frame of the buggie rather than over it like modular seats. This design delivers a lower center of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never underestimate the amount of times you'll have to do this as a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive, and there are a number of different options to choose from. For newborns it is possible to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can use the world-facing or parent facing seat that is large and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is located inside the frame, rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity with perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push, especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this type of seat negotiated these obstacles.

This kind of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features, such as an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and some unique visibility lights that can be positioned on the front of the passengers to increase safety on rough terrain.

If you're seeking a buggy that can grow with your family The sport(tm), a world-first designed to accommodate the newborn, and later be modified to accommodate three or more children as they grow. All in one footprint.

Stores

The 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also better for terrains that are difficult to navigate. However, it means that the shopping basket doesn't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A high-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It is also equipped with the form of a car seat and carrycot and you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers have found that the 3-wheeler frame can't pass through all doors of their homes or small car boot - be sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded prior to purchasing if you're worried about space.

It's worth considering a 3-wheeler that can take two (or even 3!) seats as your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the top of them; it can be used as a single unit from day dot, and then transforms to a twin buggies when your baby starts walking.

Tyres

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

These tyres can be difficult to maintain and need to have their air pressure maintained regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres. So it is essential that you have a repair kit with spare tubes and a pump in case you go out and about with your buggy.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs because they are a cheaper option than tyres filled with air, but they are equally durable. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and supple feel. They also glide well on even and tied surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres, you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it's moving, then it's a rubber or PU. You can also confirm whether your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres onto a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and should fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy nature. These tyres also make a lot of noise because they generate a lot noise when you turn or drive around town.
