3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for rough terrain and provides a smooth ride for your child. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, particularly those with slings made of fabric or modular seat units that are tightly positioned in the frame to provide the most efficient design and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is why it's a good option for off-road walks (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat). They typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel in the front to give you extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3 wheel baby strollers-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they topple over more easily. However, the most reliable 3 wheel pushchair cheap-wheel pushchairs have perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with an incline of 360o for the front wheel that makes them ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces, look out for an air-filled model also known as pneumatic tyres. They are made to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with rocks, mud, and more. Many all-terrain buggies include an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked to provide greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-rear facing 3 wheel stroller seat that reclines flat and comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your equipment (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable for infants and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a vehicle that can handle the tough terrain, then you'll need one with big wheels. They can handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks, and provide an enjoyable ride for all passengers. They are also great for jogging as they have built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. 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). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel which makes it very maneuverable. It has air tyres which do need occasional pumping and can hold a child until the age of 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, with a movable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It's also simple to get up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can be used as a stroller and an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric slings are placed within the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never think about how often you'll be doing this as a new parent!)

Seating

There are a variety of options for seating in 3 wheelers. For babies, there is the option to use the carrycot (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 be seated in the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined however, they can be adjusted to the lowest setting which will give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is positioned inside the frame instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat dealt with challenges.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this kind of buggy generally has very useful features like an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and some games-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to improve their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

If you're seeking a buggy that will grow with your family, the sport(tm), a world-first designed to accommodate infants and be modified to fit three or more children as they grow. All within one footprint.

Stores

The 3 wheel bassinet stroller-wheeled frame makes a buggy more stable to push with one hand, and it's also great for handling terrain that is difficult to navigate. However, it does mean that the shopping basket can't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A good quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as a padded handle for your comfort. It will also be equipped with car seats and a carrycot so you can use it from birth.

MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't fit through all the doors in their homes, or small car booties - make sure you know the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing in case you're concerned about space.

It's worth considering an SUV with three wheels that can fit two (or even 3!) This is the most suitable option for your future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these; it can be used as a single seat from day dot and then converts to a twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

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 exceptional ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

They can be difficult to maintain and require air pressure maintained regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, which is why you should always have a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres are more commonly found on pushchairs as they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres but are equally durable. You can tell PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide across flat and tidied surfaces.

You can usually discern the difference between PU and air-filled tyres by running your hand over them, if it feels hard, then it's made of rubber, if it slides then it's a PU. You can also test whether your buggy comes with PU tyres, by sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into the 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 that's common to this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable as the foam loses its springy quality. Additionally, these types of tyres can often be noisy as they make a lot of noise when you turn and make your way through the town.
