3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-roading and provides the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with slings made of fabric or modular seat units, which are tightly positioned in the frame and deliver the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is the reason it is a great option for off-road walks (especially with an all-terrain or off-road-style seat). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models even feature a lockable front tire to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's worth bearing in mind that 3 wheel push chair-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they topple over more easily. The best 3 wheel pushchair 3 wheel stroller set-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure they remain stable in any condition. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer using one hand. They also come with a 360o rotating front wheel that makes them perfect for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to handle nonpaved tracks, and are able to withstand rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A 3-wheel pram is also a good option for runners and those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly when you plan to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that can recline flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight compact and safe for use starting at birth. It can be used with the car seat or carrycot. It also handles some light jogging, but isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a vehicle that will take on tricky terrain, you need one with big wheels. They can handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks while providing an enjoyable ride for any passenger. They're also ideal for jogging as they're equipped with suspension and are simple to climb and descend kerbs. The trade-off is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy (recommended you read) for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres, which require pumping occasionally, and it can carry children up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she was able to steer it easily with her 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth-year-old on board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a high-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection as well as a high quality hood. It is also easy to move up and down kerbs and fits into a the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a pram with an infant car seat for infants and toddlers.

Fabric slings are set in the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot overestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are a variety of different options to pick from. The carrycot that comes with it is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lay-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. It is important to note that the seats don't recline fully however, they can be adjusted to the lowest setting which will give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is positioned inside the frame, instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This results in 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 kind of seat dealt with the obstacles.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this type of buggy generally has pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal and some games-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the occupants to ensure their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

If you're looking for a buggy that will grow along with your family The sport(tm) is a world first that can take in infants and be modified to fit three or more children as they grow. All in one footprint.

Stores

The 3-wheeled model is more stable and can be pushed with one hand. It's also more suitable for terrains that are difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres, and padding for the handle to ensure your ease. It should also be equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat which means you can use it right from birth.

The MFM reviewers noted that the 3-wheeler frame didn't pass through their doors at home or car boot. If you're concerned about space, make sure you check the dimensions when the buggy is folded before purchasing.

Look for a 3 wheeler strollers-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your future and will save you money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most well-known. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggie and later transformed into twin buggies once your baby starts to walk.

Tyres

These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. They are typically found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted’s Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an amazing ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tires of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it simple for her to negotiate kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and will require having their air pressure maintained regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, and you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres but they're just as durable. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also glide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

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

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam could compress and make your buggy appear less stable because it loses its springy feel. Also, these kinds of tyres can typically be noisy because they generate a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way around town.
