3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for rough terrain, offering an easy ride for your infant. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are placed in a tight position within the frame to provide the best shape and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is the reason it's an ideal choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road-style seat). They typically have larger front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps and rough ground. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, could fall more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry to ensure they remain steady in any weather. They should be able turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also feature the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel, which is ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to handle rocks, mud, gravel and other debris. A lot of all-terrain buggies have an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked to provide added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A 3-wheel pram is also an excellent option for runners and those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat and comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for infants and can be used in conjunction with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for jogging with a light pace, but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you are looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should pick one with large tires. They are designed to tackle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with ease and still provide smooth riding. They are also ideal for jogging as they have a suspension built-in and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy is extremely maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels as well as a lockable front wheel. It has air tyres which do need occasional pumping, and it can carry a child until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the seat shape and she found it easy to drive with her three-year-old on board.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, that comes with an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram, with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are set within the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity and a perfect height, 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 when you're a new parent!)

Seating

There are many alternatives for seating options in 3 wheeled buggy wheelers. For newborns, there is the option to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the parent or world-facing seat that is large and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline fully, but they can be adjusted to the lowest position. This should still allow your child plenty of space and headroom.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It has the advantage that it is located within the frame, instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push, especially over bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way that this style of seat negotiated these obstacles.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy usually has quite useful features, such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and some bright, game-changing lights that pop up from the handlebar and can be positioned directly in front of the occupants to improve their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

If you're seeking a single stroller that will adapt to your family's needs, there's the brand-new sport(tm) that is the first of its kind to take one baby from day dot and then change to take two or even 3 once your little ones have developed in the space of a single buggy.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved with one hand. It's also ideal for terrain that is difficult. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as a padded handle to ensure your comfort. It should be able to accept a carrycot or car seat, which means you can use it from the time of birth.

The MFM reviewers noted that the 3-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, be sure to verify the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded before buying.

Look for a 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheeler with 2 (or 3 wheeler pushchairs!) seats. seats once your family grows. They are the best of both worlds and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the most popular and can be used as a single seat from day dot and then converts to a twin 3 wheel stroller buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an outstanding ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain their inflation and will need to be replenished regularly. These tyres are more prone to punctures, and you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are equally durable. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

If you move your hand over the tyres, then you can determine if they're PU or rubber. If it feels like it's sliding, then it's a PU. You can also verify that your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres onto a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and 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 since the foam will lose its springy nature. These tyres also make a lot of noise, as they make lots of noise when you turn or drive around town.
