3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned tightly in the frame and provide the most efficient shape and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, and this makes them an excellent 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 can cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some models even come with a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3 wheeled buggies-wheel buggies have lower center of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts, which could mean they could fall more easily. But, the top 3 wheel jogger-wheel buggies have the an ideal geometry and design to make them very solid in all conditions. They should be able of turning on a dime, be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging, look out for models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle roads that are not paved and can deal with rocks, mud, and so on. Many all-terrain buggies feature an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when dealing with extremely rough ground too.

A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for runners and those who love to speed up the hill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight compact and safe to use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should select one with large tires. These are made to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease and still provide an enjoyable ride. These are also great for jogging because they have built-in suspension 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 to use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler is highly mobile due to its 16 rear wheels as well as the front wheel can be locked. It comes with air tyres that require occasional pumping and it can be used to carry children up to 3 wheel stroller. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the seat shape and she found it easy to drive with her three-year-old in the seat.

Another option that is great 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 simple to get up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a stroller with baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric slings are placed in the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This style has a lower centre of gravity at the ideal height. It is easier to push, and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you'll need to do that as a brand new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive and there are many different options to choose from. For babies, there is the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can sit in the world-facing or parent facing seat unit that is roomy and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats do not recline completely however, they can be lowered to the lowest level which should still give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It's a benefit that it is positioned inside the frame rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially over bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this type of seat negotiated these obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy generally has pretty useful features such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal and some bright, game-changing lights that pop up from the handlebar and can be placed directly in front of the occupants to improve their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

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

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy much more stable to push one handed and also perfect for handling difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A good quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned to ensure your comfort. It should also be equipped with a carrycot and car seat so you can use it from the moment you are born.

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

Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3 wheel pushchair off road!) seats. This is the best option for your child's future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the top of them and can be used as a single from day dot and then converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an outstanding ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres can be difficult to maintain and require air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres so it is essential that you have a repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump in case you go out and about with your buggy.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, but they're still as robust. You can tell PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide easily on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

You can usually tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over each one. If it feels firm, then it's made of rubber, when it slides, it's a PU. You can also test whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres by sliding them on an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain that's associated with this type of pushchair. The downside of this is that the foam can expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable, because it loses its springy feel. The tyres can also be noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn or drive around the town.
