3 Wheeler Buggies

A three wheel pushchairs-wheeler is ideal for rough terrain, offering the most comfortable ride for your infant. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned tightly in the frame to provide the best geometry and distribution of weight.

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). They often feature oversized front wheels, which can cope well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough ground. Some models even come with a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that lightweight 3 wheel buggy-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels, which can mean that they can tip over more easily. But, the top 3-wheel buggies have the an ideal geometry and design to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They must be able to pivot at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand, and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them ideal for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to handle mud, gravel, rocks and more. Many all-terrain buggies have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.

A 3 wheel baby stroller-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run and enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that can recline flat and features a more comfortable 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for babies and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should choose one with large tires. They are designed to tackle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks easily, while still providing an enjoyable ride. They are also great for jogging because they have built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they are 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 Umbrella Stroller-wheel buggy is extremely maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels as well as the front wheel can be locked. It has air tyres which do need occasional pumping, and it can carry a child up to the age of 3 wheel travel system. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the design of the seat and found it easy to steer even with her three-year-old child on the board.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, with a movable handlebar as well as a hood that is of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram that comes with an infant car seat for infants and toddlers.

Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly within the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the right 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 new parent!).

Seating

There are a variety of options for seating in three wheelers. For babies it is possible to use the carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the parent or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline fully, but they can be lowered down to the lowest point. This should give your child plenty of room and headroom.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It is advantageous in that it is located inside the frame, instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat handled the obstacles.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this type 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 come up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

A high-quality ATP will have pneumatic tyres, a padded grip for comfort and excellent suspension. It will be able to accommodate a car seat, meaning you can use it from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, be sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it is folded before purchasing.

Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3 wheel stroller reversible seat!) seats. seats when your family grows - these are the most efficient of both and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the most popular that can be used as a single seat from day dot and then converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child more comfort while riding by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted’s Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said offered "an outstanding ride for her toddler". She also noted that its grippy tyres made it easier to handle kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres can sometimes prove tricky to keep inflated and must be replenished regularly. These tyres are more prone to punctures, and you should always have a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be seen on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they are still just as durable. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide on 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 rubber and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also test whether your buggy comes with PU tyres, by sliding them on a flat, clean surface. They should roll smoothly and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable as the foam loses its springy nature. Additionally, these kinds of tyres can often be noisy as they create lots of noise when you turn and navigate your way around the town.
