3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for off-road terrain and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with slings made of fabric or modular seat units that are placed in a tight position within the frame to provide the most efficient design and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is why it is a great option for off-road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat unit). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some models even come with a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models which means that they can tip over more easily. That said, the best 3-wheel pushchairs have an ideal geometry and design to ensure that they remain stable in all weather conditions. They must be able to pivot at a single click and be easy to steer with one hand, and feature the front wheel rotate 360o that makes them great for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces be sure to choose a model with air-filled tyres which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on non-paved tracks and are able to deal with rocks, mud, and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked for added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A 3 wheeler pushchair off road-wheeler is an ideal option for runners or for those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, offering a world-facing seat that reclines flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (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 light jogging but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that will take on tricky terrain, you need one with big wheels. These are made to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease while providing smooth riding. They're also ideal for jogging because they come with suspension and are simple to climb and descend kerbs. However, the trade off is that they can be 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 a lockable swivel front wheel which makes it very maneuverable. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child up to 3 wheel reversible stroller. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler loved the best 3 wheel stroller shape of the seat and found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old son on board.

Another option that is great 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 up and down kerbs, and can fit into the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a stroller with baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric slings are set in the frame and not on top as modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the perfect height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb pop (you don't know how many times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different options to choose from. For a newborn, there is the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats aren't fully reclined, but they can be lowered to the lowest level which will give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is positioned within the frame, rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This results in a lower centre 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 really liked the way this kind of seat negotiated these challenges.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this kind of buggy usually has pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal and some bright, game-changing lights that appear from the handlebar and can be placed in front of the occupants to improve their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

Alternatively, if you are seeking a single stroller that will grow with your family, there's the brand-new sport(tm) which is the first of its kind to take a single newborn from day dot and then change to take two or even 3 once your little ones have developed and all within the footprint of a single buggy.

Stores

The 3 wheel umbrella stroller-wheeled frame is much more stable and can be pushed with just one hand. It's also ideal for terrain that is difficult. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It will accept a carrycot or car seat, meaning you can use it from birth.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, be sure you check the dimensions when the buggy is folded before buying.

It's worth considering a 3-wheeler that can take 2 (or even 3!) seats once your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best of these; it can be used as a single unit from day dot and then converts to a twin buggies when your baby starts walking.

Tyres

These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said was "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres make it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs.

They can be tricky to keep inflated and will need to be filled regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, so you should always have a repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres, but they are just as durable. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidied surfaces.

It's usually possible to discern the distinction between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over each one. If it feels hard then it's a rubber tyre, and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check that your buggy has PU tyres by slipping the tyres onto an even, clean surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit snugly in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy quality. Also, these kinds of tyres can often be noisy as they generate lots of noise when you turn and navigate your way around the town.
