3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for tackling off-road terrain and provides the most comfortable ride for your baby. They are also more convenient to move and push than a four-wheeler, especially if they have fabric slings or modular seats that are set perfectly in the frame, offering the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an excellent option for off-road walks (especially when they are equipped with a seat 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 ground. Some have a lockable wheels on the front for additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models and this can mean that they fall over more easily. But, the top 3 wheel stroller travel system-wheel buggies have the perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain stable in all conditions. They should be able turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel, which makes them perfect for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces be sure to choose models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with rocks, mud, and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great choice for runners and those who like to walk fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's compact 3 wheel stroller, lightweight and suitable for infants and can be used with a carrycot or car seat. It also handles some light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you are seeking a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should select one with big tires. They will be able to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, and provide an enjoyable ride for all passengers. They are also great for jogging as they come with suspension and are simple to climb and descend kerbs. However, the downside is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler is highly maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels as well as an adjustable front wheel that locks. It comes with air tyres which require pumping occasionally and it can be used to carry a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat and was able to steer it easily with her 3 wheel buggy-year-old in the seat.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is an alternative that is also a great choice. It comes with a movable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection and a high quality hood. It's also simple to get up and down kerbs and can fit into small car boot. It can be used as a stroller and an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned in the frame and not on top 3 wheel strollers as modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot overestimate 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 a variety of different options to pick from. The carrycot included is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lying-flat bed that can be used both in and out of the buggy). Older children and toddlers will love the spacious and padded seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats do not recline completely however, they can be adjusted to the lowest position that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available. It is set snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top as a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre 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 challenges.

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 appear from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the occupants to improve their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.

If you're looking for a buggy that will grow along with your family it's the sport(tm) is a world first that can take in a newborn and then be modified to accommodate three or more children as they grow, all in one footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame is more stable and can be pushed by one hand. It's also better for difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It should also be able to take a carrycot and car seat which means you can use it right from the moment you are born.

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

Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your child's future and will help you save money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most well-known. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggy, and then converted into twin buggies after your baby is walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are made to give your child a more comfortable ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle cobbles and kerbs.

They can be difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so it is essential that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump on hand when you are out and about with your buggy.

PU tyres are found on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they're still as durable. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on even and tied surfaces.

You can usually identify the difference between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over them, if it feels hard, then it's a rubber tyre, and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also determine whether your buggy comes with PU tyres sliding them on a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies and joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain that's common to this type of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam loses its springy quality. You'll also find that these types of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they create lots of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
