3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for rough terrain, offering an easy ride for your child. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheeler, especially if they have fabric slings or modular seat units that are placed snugly within the frame, providing the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, making them an ideal choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all terrain 3 wheel stroller-terrain or off-road). They typically have large front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels on the front for additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

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

For extremely difficult surfaces, look out for a model with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to work on non-paved tracks and are able to deal with mud, gravel, rock and more. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.

A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact, and suitable to use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or a carrycot. It also handles a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain, you need one with large wheels.

They are also great for jogging because they have built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3 wheel stroller lightweight-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping, and it can carry a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the shape of the seat, and she found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old son on the seat.

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's also easy to move up and down kerbs and can fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a stroller along with baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the frame of the buggie, as opposed to over it like modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity at the perfect height. It is much easier to push, and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you'll do that as a brand new parent!).

Seating

There are a variety of options for seating in three wheelers. The carrycot included is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lying-flat bed that can be used both in and out of the buggy). Older children and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline completely, but can be lowered to the lowest position. This should still give your child plenty of space and headroom.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available. It offers 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 and perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this kind of seat dealt with these challenges.

This kind of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features, such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights that can be placed in front of occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

MFM's reviewers have found that the 3-wheeler frame won't pass through all doors in their homes, or small car boots - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before buying for those who are concerned about space.

Choose a 3 wheel pushchair off road (Check This Out)-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats as your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most sought-after. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggy and then converted into twin buggies when your baby is walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are made to give your child an easier ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres make it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres can be difficult to maintain and will need to have their air pressure maintained regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, which is why you should always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres are found on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they're just as sturdy. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide over smooth and tidy surfaces.

It's usually possible to identify the difference between PU and air-filled tires by running your hands over each one. 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, by sliding them on a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The drawback is that the foam can compress and make your buggy appear less stable as it loses its springy feel. Also, these kinds of tyres can often be noisy as they make a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way through town.
