3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and offers the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, particularly those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed snugly in the frame, delivering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, making them an ideal choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They usually have large front wheels that can deal well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel in the front to give you additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they can tip over more easily. The most reliable 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. 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 that is ideal for navigating difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces be sure to choose an air-filled model which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are made to handle non-paved tracks and should cope with mud, gravel, rock and so on. A lot of all-terrain buggies have an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked to provide extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-rear facing 3 wheel stroller 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 light, compact, and suitable for use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with the car seat or carrycot. It also handles some light jogging but isn't intended for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy to take on difficult terrain, you should choose one with big tires. These will cope well over grass, cobbles and dirt tracks and provide an enjoyable ride for all passengers. These are also great for jogging, as they have built-in suspension and are able 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 most suitable 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3 wheel travel system-wheel buggy has 16 rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels with an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child until the age of 3 wheel Parent facing Pushchair. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the shape of the seat and she found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old son on the board.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits in a the car's boot space in a small size. It can be used as a stroller with an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric slings are set in the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you should never think about how often you'll be doing that as new parents!)

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is impressive and there are a variety of different options to choose from. The carrycot that comes with it is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lay-flat bed that can be used both in and out of the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and padded seat unit with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't fully recline, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting. This should still allow your child to have plenty of headroom and space.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available, which has the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top as an open-back seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity and 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 kind of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other features that are useful like an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility which can be put in front of occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

If you're searching for a stroller that can grow with your family, the sport(tm) is a first in the world, can accommodate the newborn, and later be modified to fit three or four children as they grow. All in one footprint.

Storage

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

A high-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres, a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It will be able to accept a carrycot or car seat, which means you can use it right from the time of birth.

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

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these; it can be used as a single unit from day dot and later converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are made to give your child more comfort while riding by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. These are found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted’s Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said was "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to negotiate the kerbs and other obstacles.

They can be difficult to maintain and need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres, so you'll need to ensure that you have repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump in case you go you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres but they're just as robust. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

You can usually tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over them, if it feels firm, then it's rubber and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres sliding them on a flat, clean surface. They should roll smoothly and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. This could make your buggy less stable because the foam loses its springy feel. The tyres can also be noisy due to the fact that they create lots of noise when you turn and navigate around the town.
