3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for rough terrain providing the most comfortable ride for your child. They can also be easier to move and push than a four-wheeler, particularly those with fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set perfectly in the frame, offering the best 3 wheel travel system ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an ideal option for off-roading (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some models even have a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models which means that they fall over more easily. But, the top 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with an ideal geometry and design to make them very stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim, be easy to steer with just one hand and have a 360o swivelling front wheel that makes them great for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces be sure to choose an air-filled model also known as pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with mud, gravel, rock and so on. Many all-terrain buggies include an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A 3-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run and love to speed up the hill. This is particularly true if you are planning to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all terrain 3 wheel stroller your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable for babies and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, but is not intended for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can handle difficult terrain then you want one with large wheels. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily while providing an enjoyable ride. They're also good for jogging as they're equipped with suspension and are simple to move up and down kerbs. However, the drawback is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). The 3 wheel running buggy-wheel buggy is extremely maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels as well as the front wheel can be locked. It has air-filled tyres that need to be pumped up from time to time. It can be used by children until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the shape of the seat and found it easy to steer even with her three-year-old child on the board.

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

Fabric slings are set within the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design has an lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never think about how often you'll do this when you're a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are a variety of different options to choose from. For a newborn, there is the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It is important to note that the seats don't recline fully, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available. It offers the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame instead of on top like the modular seat. This provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way that this style of seat negotiated these challenges.

This kind of buggy comes with a large basket and other features that are useful, such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be positioned in front of occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that will grow with your family There's the new sport(tm) that is the first in the world to take a single infant from the moment of birth and adjust to take 2 or even 3 once your little ones have grown and all within the footprint of one buggy.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable to push with one hand and is also ideal for handling rough terrain. However, it means that the shopping basket doesn't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy.

A good quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as an ergonomic handle that is cushioned to ensure your convenience. It should also be equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat which means you can use it right from the time you are born.

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

Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your future and can 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 then converted into twin buggies after your baby starts to walk.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to provide your child with an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. These are included on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted’s Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said offered "an amazing ride for her toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to maneuver around kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain and will need to be filled regularly. They are also more susceptible to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to ensure that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump in case you go you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are just as durable. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide across flat and tidied surfaces.

You can usually discern the difference between PU and air-filled 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 verify whether your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres onto a clean, flat surface They'll be able to roll easily and should fit snugly into their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy quality. Additionally, these tyres may frequently be noisy, as they generate a lot of noise as you turn and navigate your way around the town.
