3 wheel buggy for sale Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is perfect for tackling off-road terrain providing the most comfortable ride for your baby. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or seat units that are placed in a tight position within the frame and provide the most efficient shape and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is the reason it's an ideal option for off-road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road-style seat). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels on the front for additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower center of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions which means they are more likely to fall over. That said, the best 3-wheel buggies have the perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain stable in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also have an incline of 360o for the front wheel, which makes them ideal to navigate difficult terrain.

For really tricky surfaces you should look for models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. These are designed to handle roads that are not paved and can deal with mud, gravel, rock etc. Many all-terrain buggies have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to add stability when working on extremely rough ground too.

A 3-wheel pram is also an excellent option for runners or for those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact, and suitable to use from birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It also handles a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can handle the tough terrain, you need one with large wheels. These are made to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with ease while providing an enjoyable ride. They are also great for jogging as they have built-in suspension and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. However, they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy is very mobile due to its 16 rear Facing 3 wheel Stroller wheels as well as the front wheel can be locked. It has tyres with air that need to be pumped up from time to time. It can accommodate children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the design of the seat and she found it easy to steer even with her three-year-old child on board.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, with a movable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move up and down kerbs and fits into a the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a pram, with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned in the frame, not on top like modular seats. This model has a lower centre-of-gravity at the ideal height. It is much easier to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you'll do this as a new parent!).

Seating

There are a myriad of alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For babies it is possible to use the carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can sit in the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline fully, but they can be lowered to the lowest position. This should still allow your child to have plenty of room and headroom.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It has the advantage that it is positioned 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 and lighter to push, particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this kind of seat negotiated these challenges.

This type of buggy comes with a large basket and other beneficial features such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be positioned in front of occupants to increase safety on rough terrain.

If you're seeking a single stroller that can expand with your family, there's the brand-new sport(tm) that is a world's first that can take one baby from day dot and then adapt to take 2 or even three once your little ones have grown in the space of one buggy.

Storage

The 3 wheel jogger-wheeled frame makes a buggy more stable to push with one hand, and it's also great for handling difficult terrain. However, it also means that the shopping basket can't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A good quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as an ergonomic handle that is cushioned for your comfort. It will accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, which means you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers have noticed that the 3-wheeler frame can't fit through all the doors in their homes, or small car boots - make sure to check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before buying in case you're concerned about space.

It's worth looking for a 3 wheeler buggy-wheeler that can take two (or even 3!) seats as your family grows - these are the most efficient of both and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these and can be used as a single from day dot and later converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They are commonly used on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted’s Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require air pressure maintained regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres so it is essential that you have a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump in case you go you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, but they are still just as robust. You can identify PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres, you can tell if they are PU or rubber. If it feels like it is sliding then it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies and joggers because they can 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. You'll also find that these types of tyres can often be noisy as they generate lots of noise when you turn and make your way through town.
