3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for off-roading and provides an easy ride for your infant. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheeler especially those equipped with slings made of fabric or modular seat units that are positioned tightly in the frame and deliver the best 3 wheel travel system shape and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is the reason it's an ideal choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat unit). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some even feature a lockable front tire to give extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels, which can mean that they topple over more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with an ideal geometry and design to ensure they are stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be able to steer with one hand, and feature a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them perfect for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. They are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to handle rocks, mud, gravel, etc. Many all-terrain buggies include an swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain.

A 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheel pram is also an excellent option for runners and those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, especially when you plan to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space to keep everything you need (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It is lightweight and compact, and is suitable to use from birth. It can be used with the car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can handle the tough terrain, you need one with large wheels. They can handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks while providing an enjoyable ride for anyone. They're also good for jogging because they have built in suspension and are easy to climb and descend kerbs. The trade-off is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3 wheel baby buggy-wheeler is highly maneuverable because it has 16 Rear facing 3 Wheel stroller wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. It has air-filled tyres that need to be pumped up every now and then. It can carry children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the shape of the seat and found it easy to steer even with her 3-year-old son on the seat.

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 is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits in a the car's boot space in a small size. It can also be used as a pram with an infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never underestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. The carrycot that comes with it is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and padded seat unit with adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline completely, but can be adjusted to the lowest setting. This should allow your child plenty of headroom and space.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It is advantageous in that it is positioned inside the frame instead of on top as a modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push, particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way that this style of seat dealt with these obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy typically has some very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal, and a few games-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to improve their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

If you're seeking a buggy that can grow with your family it's the sport(tm) is a world first, can accommodate a newborn and then be adapted to accommodate two or three children as they grow. All within one footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable to push one handed and is also ideal for handling terrain that is difficult to navigate. However, it also means that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.

A high-quality ATP will have pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It will accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, which means you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to check out the dimensions when the buggy is folded before purchasing.

It's worth looking into an SUV with three wheels that can fit 2 (or even 3!) seats as your family grows. They are the most efficient of both and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the top of them; it can be used as a single seat from day dot, and then transforms to twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to provide your child with a more comfortable ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to navigate kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres can be difficult to maintain and will need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more susceptible to punctures than foam tyres. So you'll need to make sure that you have a repair kit with spare tubes and a pump on hand when you are out and about with your buggy.

PU tyres can be found on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, yet they are still just as sturdy. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one. If it feels hard then it's a rubber tyre, and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also confirm whether your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres over an even, clean surface They'll roll easily and fit snugly into their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam may shrink and make your buggy appear less stable because it loses its springy feel. Additionally, these types of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they create a lot of noise when you turn and make your way through the town.
