3 Wheeler Buggies

A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and offers an easy ride for babies. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy especially those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed snugly within the frame, providing the best ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, making them an ideal choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have large 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 remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models and this can mean that they topple over more easily. The best 3 wheeled strollers-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry to ensure they remain steady in any weather. They should be able turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also feature an incline of 360o for the front wheel which makes them ideal to navigate difficult terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging be sure to choose a model with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with rocks, mud, and so on. Many all-terrain buggies include an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain.

A 3-wheeler is an excellent option for runners or those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has the flat-reclining seat, a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to store all your gear (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light and compact, and is suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used in conjunction with the car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should select one with large tires. They can handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks, while providing a smooth ride for anyone. They're also good for jogging as they have built in suspension and are easy to get up and down kerbs. However, the drawback is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping and can hold 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 great option 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's also easy to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned within the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never overestimate how often you'll be doing that as new parents!)

Seating

There are many alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For babies it is possible to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can be seated in the world-facing or parent facing seat that is spacious and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats do not fully recline, but they can be adjusted to the lowest point. This should still allow your child plenty of space and headroom.

A fabric sling seat is also available, which offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame instead of over the top of the modular seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this kind of seat negotiated these obstacles.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and some game-changing visibility lights that come up from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the occupants to improve their safety when tackling tricky 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 the newborn, and later be modified to fit three or more children as they grow, all in one footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable and sturdy to push one-handed and is also ideal for handling difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.

A top-quality ATP will have pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It should be able to accommodate a car seat, meaning you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't pass through their doors at home or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to verify the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded before buying.

Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best choice for your child's future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the most popular; it can be used as a single unit 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 journey more comfortable. These are used on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

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

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs since they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are just as durable. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidied 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 sliding, then it is a rubber or PU. You can also confirm that your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres over flat, clean surfaces They'll roll easily and fit snugly in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies as well as Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. The downside is that the foam can expand and cause your buggy to appear less stable as it loses its springy nature. These tyres also make a lot of noise due to the fact that they create lots of noise when you turn and drive around town.
