3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for off-roading and provides the most comfortable ride for your child. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy especially those equipped with slings made of fabric or modular seat units, which are placed in a tight position within the frame and provide the best design and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeled buggy offers 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 unit). They typically have larger front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps and rough ground. Some even feature a lockable front tire to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models which means that they fall over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. They must be able to pivot on a dime and be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them perfect for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces, look out for an air-filled model, also known as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with mud, gravel, rock etc. Many all-terrain buggies feature an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when working on extremely rough terrain.

A 3 wheel strollers-wheeled pram is a great option for runners and those who like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat and 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 from birth and can be used with the use of a car seat or 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 tackle difficult terrain, then you should pick one with big tires. They can handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks and provide the smoothest ride for all passengers. They're also ideal for jogging since they come with suspension and are simple to get up and down kerbs. However, 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). This 3-wheel buggy is very maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels as well as an adjustable front wheel that locks. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping and can hold children until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat, and she found steering it easy even with her 3-year-old riding along.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram that comes with a carrycot or infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly within the frame of the buggie, as opposed to over it like modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the right height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you don't know how many times you'll do that as a new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheel double stroller wheelers is impressive and there are many different options to choose from. For newborns you have the option to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be lowered to the lowest point. This should still give your child plenty of space and headroom.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It is advantageous in that it is located inside the frame, instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity with perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat dealt with obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal and some game-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

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

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable and stable to push with one hand, and it's also great for handling rough terrain. However, it also means that the shopping basket doesn't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A top-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres, a padded grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It should also be equipped to carry car seats and a carrycot so you can use it from birth.

MFM's reviewers have noticed that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't fit through all the doors in their homes or small car boots - make sure you know the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded prior to purchasing if you're worried about space.

Look for a 3 wheel running stroller-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats when your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most popular. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggy, and then converted into twin buggies after your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain and need to be replenished regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, so it is recommended to always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are equally durable. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidy surfaces.

It's usually possible to discern the difference between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over them, if it feels hard then it's a rubber tyre, and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also check that your buggy has PU tyres by slipping the tyres onto flat, clean surfaces - they'll be able to roll easily and should fit snugly in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The drawback is that the foam could shrink and make your buggy feel less stable, because it loses its springy feel. You'll also find that these types of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they generate a lot of noise as you turn and navigate your way through the town.
