3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for off-roading providing a smooth ride for your baby. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheeler, especially those with fabric slings or modular seats that are set snugly in the frame, offering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeler has great stability, which is the reason it's a good choice for off road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat unit). They often feature oversized front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front to provide additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they can tip over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller design to ensure they stay stable in any condition. They should be able to turn at a whim, be easy to steer with one hand, and have the front wheel rotate 360o that makes them great for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to take on dirt, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain too.

A 3-wheel pram is also an ideal option for runners or for those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, especially if you're planning to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features the flat-reclining seat, five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space for all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight 3 wheel stroller and compact, and is suitable for use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for jogging with a light pace, but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a vehicle that will take on tricky terrain, you need one with big wheels. These will cope well over grass, cobbles and dirt tracks, and provide an enjoyable ride for anyone. They are also ideal for jogging, as they have built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down 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 (over here) you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels with a lockable swivel front wheel making it extremely maneuverable. It comes with tyres filled with air that require pumping up from time to time. It can carry children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she found it easy to drive with her 3-year-old riding along.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It comes with an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that offers 50+ UV protection, and a high quality hood. It's also simple to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit in small car boots. It can be used as a stroller with an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric slings are set within the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design delivers an lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you should never underestimate how often you'll be doing that as new parents!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive and there are many different options to pick from. The carrycot that comes with it is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lay-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will enjoy the large and comfortable seat with adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be lowered down to the lowest setting. This should still give your child plenty of space and headroom.

A fabric sling seat is also available, which offers the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame instead of on top like a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this kind of seat dealt with these obstacles.

This kind of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features like an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal and some unique visibility lights that can be placed on the front of the passengers to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain.

If you're seeking a single stroller that will expand with your family There's a brand new sport(tm) that's a world's first that can take one baby from day dot and then adjust to take 2 or even three once your baby has grown in the space of a single buggy.

Stores

The 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeled model is more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also more suitable for terrain that is difficult. However, it means that the basket won't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy.

A top-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres, and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned to ensure your ease. It will accept a carrycot or car seat, so you can use it right 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 boots - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing if you're worried about space.

It's worth looking into a 3-wheeler that can take 2 (or even 3!) seats once your family grows - these are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most sought-after. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggy and later transformed into twin buggies when your baby starts to walk.

Tyres

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

They can be difficult to maintain and will require having their air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are more prone to punctures, which is why you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres but are just as robust. You can tell PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft texture. They also slide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over each one, if it feels firm, then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also confirm that your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by sliding the tyres onto an even, clean surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies as well as Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy nature. Also, these kinds of tyres can typically be noisy because they make a lot of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
