3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is perfect for off-roading providing the most comfortable ride for your infant. They can also be easier to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy, especially if they have fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed perfectly in the frame, delivering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-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). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and 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-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions which means they are more likely to fall over. That said, the best 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with an ideal geometry and design to ensure they are stable in all weather conditions. They should be able of turning at a single click and be able to steer using just one hand and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to take on dirt, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A 3-wheel stroller is an excellent option for runners or for those who like to walk fast and uphill, especially if you're planning to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has the flat-reclining seat, 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to keep all your gear (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for infants and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for jogging with a light pace, but is not intended for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can handle the tough terrain, then you'll need one with big wheels. They are designed to tackle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks easily while providing an enjoyable ride. They are also great for jogging, as they come with built-in suspension and are able 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). This 3-wheel buggy is very maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. It has air tyres, that require occasional pumping and it can be used to carry children up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the shape of the seat and found it easy to steer even with her 3-year-old son on the board.

The Baby Ickle Bubba Venus Max All-Black Stroller: Ultimate Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that provides 50+ UV protection, and a high-quality hood. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit into small car boot. It can be used as a stroller along with baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned in the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you can never underestimate the amount of times you'll have to do this as a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different options to choose from. The carrycot that comes with it is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lay-flat bed that can be used in and out of the buggy). Older children and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. The seats do not fully recline, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting. This should give your child plenty of room and headroom.

A fabric sling seat is also available. It has the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame, rather than over the top of an open-back seat. This gives a lower centre 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 type of seat handled obstacles.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and some games-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

If you're looking for a buggy that can grow with your family The sport(tm) is a world first that can take in the newborn, and later be modified to accommodate three or four children as they grow. All within a single footprint.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more sturdy to push one-handed and also perfect for handling terrain that is difficult to navigate. However, it does mean that the basket won't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.

A high-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for comfort and excellent suspension. It is also able to take a carrycot and car seat so you can use it from birth.

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

It's worth looking for an SUV with three wheels that can fit two (or even 3!) This is the best choice for your future and can save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best of these; it can be used as a single seat from day dot and then converts into twin buggies once your HOMCOM Folding Baby Stroller in Vibrant Red begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are made to give your child an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on Pushchairs And Prams such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain their inflation and must be replenished regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, so it is recommended to always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, yet they're just as robust. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide easily on even and tied surfaces.

If you move your hand over the tyres you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels as if it's sliding, then it is a PU. You can also confirm that your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by slipping the tyres onto a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are often used in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain associated with this type of pushchair. The downside is that the foam can shrink and make your buggy feel less stable because it loses its springy nature. The tyres can also be noisy due to the fact that they create lots of noise when you turn and drive around the town.
