3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for off-roading and provides the most comfortable ride for infants. They can also be easier to move and push than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned comfortably in the frame, offering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, making them an ideal option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models even come with a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts, which could mean they can topple over more readily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a single click, be easy to steer using just one hand, and have the front wheel rotate 360o that makes them great for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

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

A 3-wheeler is a good option for runners or those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, especially in the event that you're planning to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It has a flat-reclining seat with five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space to keep everything you need (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It is lightweight 3 wheel pushchair, compact, and suitable for use from birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It also allows for some light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy to take on difficult terrain, you should choose one with big tires. They will be able to handle grass, cobbles, and dirt tracks and provide the smoothest ride for all passengers. They are also great for jogging because they have a suspension built-in and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. However, they're quite heavy to push.

The best 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy is extremely mobile due to its 16 rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. It comes with air tyres that require occasional pumping and can hold children until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat, and she found it easy to drive with her 3-year-old in the seat.

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

Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly inside the frame of the buggie instead of on top of it like modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the ideal height. It is much easier to push, and lighter to kerb pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you will do this as a new parent!).

Seating

There are a variety of alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For babies you have the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the world-facing or parent facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats aren't fully reclined however they can be lowered to the lowest level which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available, which offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame rather than on top like an open-back seat. This gives a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat dealt with obstacles.

This type of buggy comes with a large basket and other features that are useful, such as an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights which can be put in front of occupants to ensure safety when riding on rough 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 two or three children as they grow, all in one footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more sturdy to push one-handed and is also ideal for handling terrain that is difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will have 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 birth.

The MFM reviewers noted that the 3 wheel stroller lightweight wheel stroller reversible seat (information from Google)-wheeler frame didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing.

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats when your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these and can be used as a single seat from day dot and later converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on it made it easier to handle kerbs and cobbles.

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

PU tyres can be found on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, yet they are still just as durable. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide easily on uneven and tied surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres, then you can determine if they're PU or rubber. If it feels as if it's sliding, then it is a PU. You can also test if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres sliding them on an even, smooth surface. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. The drawback is that the foam can compress and make your buggy feel less stable because it loses its springy quality. These tyres also make a lot of noise due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn or drive around the town.
