3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and provides an easy ride for babies. 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 tightly positioned in the frame and deliver the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

three wheel pushchair-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, which makes them an ideal option for off-road walks (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front to provide additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they fall over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been made with the best geometry to ensure they remain steady in any weather. They must be able to pivot at a single click, be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces be sure to choose an air-filled model which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres. They are made to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with rocks, mud, etc. Many all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run or love to speed up the hill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to store all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight and compact, and is suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used with the car seat or carrycot. It also handles a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should select one with big tires. These are designed to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with ease, while still providing smooth riding. They are also ideal for jogging because they come with built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel stroller with car seat 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler is highly maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels as well as an adjustable front wheel that locks. It has air tyres that require occasional pumping and can hold children until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat and found steering it easy even with her three-year-old riding along.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, that comes with an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs and fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with a carrycot or infant car seat for infants and toddlers.

Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly within the frame of the buggie instead of sitting on top 3 wheel strollers of it as modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity at the right height. It is simpler to push and is lighter to kerb-pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in 3 wheelers. The carrycot included is ideal for a newborn (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 infants and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and padded seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be adjusted to the lowest position. This should allow your child to have plenty of headroom and space.

A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is located inside the frame instead of being placed on top of it as a seat that is modular. This results in a 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 style of seat handled challenges.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this type of buggy usually has quite useful features, such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and a few games-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned directly in front of the occupants to increase their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

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

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame is much more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also more suitable for terrains that are difficult to navigate. However, it means that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.

A top-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It will accommodate a car seat, meaning you can use it from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers have found that the 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheeler frame doesn't fit through all the doors of their homes or small car booties - make sure to check the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded before buying in case you're concerned about space.

Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your child's future and will save you money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most popular. It can be used from day dot as a single buggy, and later transformed into twin buggies after your baby starts to walk.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to provide your child with an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. You'll find these on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

They can be tricky to keep inflated and must be topped up frequently. These tyres are more prone to punctures, so you should always have a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than tyres filled with air, but they are equally durable. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide across flat and tidied surfaces.

It's usually possible to identify the difference between PU and air-filled tires by running your hands over them, if it feels firm, then it's rubber and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres over a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit snugly into their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are often utilized in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain associated with this type of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam loses its springy quality. You'll also find that these kinds of tyres can typically be noisy because they create a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way through town.
