3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is perfect for off-roading and provides a smooth ride for your child. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheeler especially those equipped with fabric slings or modular seat units, which are placed in a tight position within the frame and provide the best design and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this makes them a great choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels that can deal well with bumps and kerbs and rough ground. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they can tip over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best geometry to ensure they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also have a 360o rotating front wheel that is ideal for navigating difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to handle dirt, gravel, rocks, etc. Many all-terrain buggies have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.

A 3-wheeler is an ideal option for runners or those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to store all your equipment (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's compact, lightweight 3 wheel pushchair and suitable for babies and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that will take on tricky terrain then you want one with big wheels. They are designed to tackle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks easily while providing a smooth ride. They are also ideal for jogging because they come with built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. However, the trade off is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels with a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with tyres filled with air that need to be pumped up from time to time. It can be used by children up until the age of three wheeler pushchair. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she found steering it easy even with her 3-year-old on board.

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 is also easy to move up and down kerbs and fits into a small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with baby car seat for infants and toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the frame of the buggie, as opposed to on top of it like modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity at the ideal height. It is easier to push and is lighter to kerb-pop (you don't know how many times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different choices to choose from. For newborns you have the option to use the carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline completely, but can be lowered down to the lowest point. This should allow your child plenty of room and headroom.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available. It has the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame instead of sitting on top as the modular seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat handled obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy typically has some pretty useful features such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and some game-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned directly in front of the occupants to improve their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.

If you're looking for a buggy that can grow with your family The sport(tm) is a first in the world designed to accommodate infants and be adapted to accommodate three or more children as they grow. All within one footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame is much more stable and can be pushed with just one hand. It's also ideal for terrain that is difficult. However, it also means that the shopping basket can't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A high-quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres, and padding for the handle for your convenience. It will accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, so you can use it right from the time of birth.

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

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your child's future and will help you save money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the most popular that can be used as a single seat from day dot and later converts to a twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to give your child an easier ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easier for her to navigate the kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain their inflation and need to be filled regularly. These tyres are more prone to punctures, which is why you should always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they're just as durable. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on even and tied surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres, then you can tell if they are PU or rubber. If it feels as if it's sliding, then it is a PU. You can also check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres, by sliding them on flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are often utilized in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. The downside is that the foam could compress and make your buggy appear less stable because it loses its springy nature. Also, these types of tyres can often be noisy as they make a lot of noise when you turn and make your way through town.
