3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for off-roading and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with fabric slings or modular seat units, which are placed in a tight position within the frame and provide the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

A three wheel pushchair-wheeler has great stability, which is why it's a good option for off-road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat unit). They typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some even have a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have lower center of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, are more likely to fall over. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been made with the best geometry to ensure they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also have the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel which makes them perfect to navigate difficult terrain.

Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. They are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to take on rocks, mud, gravel, etc. 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 3-wheel stroller is an ideal option for runners or for 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, offering a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight and compact, and is suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used with a car seat or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging but is not intended for serious runners.

Weight

If you are looking for a buggy to tackle difficult terrain, then you should choose one with large tires. These are designed to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks easily and still provide a smooth ride. These are also great for jogging as they have built-in suspension and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they're quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels with a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally and can hold a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat, and she was able to steer it easily with her 3 wheel stroller and car seat year old 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 move up and down kerbs and fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a pram with baby car seat for infants and toddlers.

Fabric slings are set within the frame, not on top 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 need to do this as a new parent!).

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in 3 wheelers. For babies you have the option 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), while older babies and toddlers can use the world-facing or parent facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline fully, but they can be lowered down to the lowest setting. This should still give your child plenty of room and headroom.

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

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

If you're searching for a single baby buggy that can grow with your family There's the new sport(tm) that's the first in the world to take a single infant from day dot and then adjust to take 2 or even 3 after your little ones have grown, all within the footprint of one buggy.

Stores

The 3 wheel jogger-wheeled frame makes a buggy much more stable to push one handed, and it's also great for handling difficult 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 have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres, and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned to ensure your comfort. It will accept a carrycot or car seat, meaning you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame won't fit through all the doors of their homes or small car booties - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded before purchasing if you're worried about space.

Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. seats as your family grows. These are the most efficient of both 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 later transformed into twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are made to provide your child with a more comfortable ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it simple for her to maneuver around kerbs and other obstacles.

They can be difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure topped up regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, so you should always carry an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres are typically found on pushchairs as they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres, but they are equally robust. You can tell PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide on flat and tidy surfaces.

You can usually tell the difference between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one, if it feels firm, then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also verify that your buggy is fitted with PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres over an even, clean surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam loses its springy nature. These tyres also make a lot of noise due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
