3 Wheeler Buggies

A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and offers the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy, especially if they have fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set perfectly within the frame, providing the best ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is why it's a good choice for off road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat). They often feature oversized front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps and rough ground. Some even have a lockable front wheel for 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 means they could fall more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel buggies have the an ideal geometry and design to ensure that they remain solid 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 that makes them perfect for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on tracks that are not paved, and are able to withstand mud, gravel, rocks and more. Many all-terrain buggies include an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked to provide greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for those who run or enjoy walking fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat and comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight, compact and suitable for babies and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It also handles some moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you are looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should select one with big tires. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily, while still providing smooth riding. They are also ideal for jogging, as they have built-in suspension and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they are quite heavy to push.

The best 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3 wheel double pushchair-wheel buggy is very maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and the front wheel can be locked. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping, and it can carry a child up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the shape of the seat and she found it easy to steer even with her three-year-old child on board.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, that comes with an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs, and it can 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.

Fabric slings are placed inside the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design has an lower centre of gravity and a 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

There are a myriad of alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For babies, there is the option to use the carrycot and (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 use the parent or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline fully, but they can be lowered down to the lowest setting. This should still allow your child plenty of room and headroom.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It's a benefit that it is placed within the frame, rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity with perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat handled obstacles.

This kind of buggy comes with a large basket and other features that are useful, such as an extended hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and some unique visibility lights that can be placed in front of the occupants to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain.

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

Stores

The 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved with just one hand. It's also more suitable for terrains that are difficult to navigate. However, it does mean that the shopping basket doesn't hold as much as a four-wheeled double buggy 3 wheels.

A high-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as a padded handle to ensure your comfort. It will accommodate a car seat, which means you can use it right from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, make sure to verify the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing.

Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your future and will save you 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 later converted into twin buggies after your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are made to provide your child with a more comfortable ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are typically used on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an amazing ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easy to tackle cobbles and kerbs.

They can be difficult to maintain their inflation and will need to be topped up frequently. These tyres are prone to punctures, and you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres are found on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they're just as robust. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide easily on uneven and tied surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over them, if it feels hard, then it's a rubber tyre, and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also test if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres sliding them on flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies and joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain common to this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable as the foam will lose its springy quality. The tyres can also be noisy due to the fact that they create lots of noise when you turn or drive around town.
