3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for rough terrain and provides an easy ride for your baby. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or seat units that are placed in a tight position within the frame to provide the best shape and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this makes them an ideal option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which cope well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they fall over more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel buggies have the an ideal geometry and design to ensure that they remain stable in all weather conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be able to steer with just one hand, and have 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces you should look for models 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 so on. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.

A 3 wheel double pushchair-wheel pram is also a good 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 an excellent model. It features a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space for everything you need (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot or car seat. It can also be used for light jogging, however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you are seeking a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should pick one with big tires. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily, while still providing smooth riding. They are also ideal for jogging, as they have a suspension built-in and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3 wheel stroller for newborn-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels, and an swivel wheel lockable to the front making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres, which require pumping occasionally and it can be used to carry children up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the seat shape and she found it easy to drive with her 3-year-old riding along.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is an alternative that is also a great choice. It has an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that provides 50+ UV protection as well as a high-quality hood. 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 with an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the buggie's frame, as opposed to sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never overestimate how often you'll be doing that as new parents!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive, and there are a number of different options to pick from. For a newborn you have the option to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can use the parent-facing or world-facing seat that is large and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be adjusted to the lowest point. This should still give your child plenty of room and headroom.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available, which is positioned snugly inside the frame instead of over the top of the modular seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push, particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this type of seat negotiated these challenges.

This kind of buggy comes with a large basket and other beneficial features, such as an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility which can be put in front of occupants to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain.

Alternatively, if you are seeking a single stroller that can adapt to your family's needs There's the new sport(tm) that is a world's first that can take a single newborn from the moment of birth and adapt to take 2 or even 3 wheel stroller with seat after your baby has developed, all within the footprint of one buggy.

Storage

The 3-wheeled model is more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also more suitable for difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres and a padded handle for your convenience. It will accept a carrycot or car seat, which means you can use it from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3 wheel stroller for running-wheeler frames couldn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to verify the dimensions when the buggy is folded before buying.

It's worth considering an SUV with three wheels that can fit two (or even 3 wheel running buggy!) seats as your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the top of them and can be used as a single from day dot and later converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They're commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an outstanding ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tires of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to navigate kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and must be topped up frequently. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres. So it is essential that you have a repair kit with spare tubes and a pump handy when you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres are found on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they're just as durable. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres, you can tell if they are PU or rubber. If it feels as if it is sliding then it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres by sliding them onto an even, smooth surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The drawback is that the foam could expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable, as it loses its springy feel. Also, these kinds of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they make a lot of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
