3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for off-road terrain and offers the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy, especially those with fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set perfectly in the frame, delivering the best ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

three wheel pushchairs-wheeled buggys are very stable, which makes them a great option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which cope well with kerbs and bumps and rough ground. Some even come with a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions which means they could fall more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been designed with perfect design to ensure they stay stable in any condition. They should be able turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand. They also have the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel that makes them perfect for navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. These are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to take on rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when dealing with extremely rough ground too.

A 3-wheeler is a good option for runners and those who like to walk quickly and uphill, especially when you plan to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to store everything you need (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It is lightweight 3 Wheel Buggy and compact, and is suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should pick one with big tires. These will cope well over cobbles, grass and dirt tracks and provide an enjoyable ride for all passengers. These are also great for jogging because they have a suspension built-in and are able to climb up and down kerbs. However, the trade off is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres which do need occasional pumping and can hold a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she was able to steer it easily with her 3 year old riding along.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It comes with a movable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that provides 50+ UV protection, and an extremely high-quality hood. It is also easy to move up and down kerbs and fits into a small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric sling seats sit snugly inside the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot overestimate how often you'll be doing this as a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive and there are a variety of different options to choose from. For a newborn you have the option to use the carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline fully, but they can be lowered down to the lowest position. This should still allow your child to have plenty of headroom and space.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available, which has the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame, rather than on top like the modular seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push, especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath really liked the way this kind of seat negotiated these challenges.

This type of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other features that are useful such as an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and a few innovative lights for visibility which can be put on the front of the passengers for improved safety on difficult terrain.

If you're seeking a buggy that will grow with your family, the sport(tm) is a first in the world, can accommodate infants and be adapted to accommodate three or more children as they grow, all within a single footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame is much more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also more suitable for terrains that are difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres, a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It will accept a carrycot or car seat, so you can use it from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame won't pass through all doors in their homes or small car boot - be sure to check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded prior to purchasing if you're worried about space.

Find a 3 wheel travel system-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your future and can help you save money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the top of them that can be used as a single unit from day dot and later 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 enjoyable. You'll find these on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it simple for her to negotiate kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are more prone to punctures, which is why it is recommended to always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres can be found on pushchairs as they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are equally robust. You can recognise PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also slide on smooth and tidy surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres, you can determine if they're rubber or PU. If it feels as if it is sliding then it is a rubber or PU. You can also determine whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres sliding them across an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly utilized in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam loses its springy feel. These tyres are also noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
