3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and provides the most comfortable ride for infants. They can also be easier to move and push than a four-wheel buggy especially if they have fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set snugly within the frame, providing the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, which makes them an excellent choice for off-road walking (especially when equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models and this can mean that they fall over more easily. The best 3 wheel stroller set-wheeled pushchairs have been built with the perfect design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also come with the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel, which makes them ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces, look out for models with air-filled tyres which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are designed to work on roads that are not paved and can deal with rocks, mud, etc. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when dealing with extremely rough ground too.

A 3-wheeler is an ideal option for runners or those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-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 from birth and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for jogging with a light pace, however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can handle the tough terrain then you want one with big wheels. These are designed to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with ease and still provide an enjoyable ride. They're also ideal for jogging as they have built in suspension and are easy to climb and descend kerbs. The trade-off is that they're a bit heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has tyres with air which require pumping up every now and then. It can accommodate children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat and found it easy to drive with her three-year-old in the seat.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards, and can fit into the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a stroller and an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric sling seats sit snugly within the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design has a lower centre-of-gravity at the right height. It is simpler to push, and is lighter to kerb-pop (you don't know how many times you'll do that as a new parent!).

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. For a newborn it is possible to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can use the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't fully recline, but they can be lowered to the lowest point. This should still allow your child plenty of space and headroom.

A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is placed inside the frame instead of on top as a modular seat. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity with perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat handled challenges.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy generally has pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and some games-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the occupants to increase their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.

If you're searching for a stroller that will grow with your family it's the sport(tm), a world-first that can take in a newborn and then be adapted to accommodate two or three children as they grow, all in one footprint.

Stores

The strollers 3 wheels-wheeled model is more sturdy and can be moved with just one hand. It's also ideal for terrain that is difficult. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for comfort and excellent suspension. It should be able to accept a carrycot or car seat, which means you can use it from birth.

MFM's reviewers have found that the 3 wheel baby strollers-wheeler frame can't pass through all doors of their homes or small 3 wheel stroller car booties - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing in case you're concerned about space.

Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats as your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most well-known. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggie and later converted into twin buggies after your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to provide your child with an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to negotiate kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres can be difficult to maintain and will need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are prone to punctures, so you should always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than tyres filled with air, but they are equally durable. You can recognise PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft texture. They also slide on flat and tidied surfaces.

You can usually identify the difference between PU and air-filled tires by running your hands over them, if it feels hard then it's made of rubber, If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also determine if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres, by sliding them across an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. This could make your buggy less stable as the foam will lose its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy, as they make lots of noise when you turn and drive around town.
