3 Wheeler Buggies

A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and offers a smooth ride for baby. They can also be easier to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy especially if they have fabric sling seats or seat units that are placed snugly in the frame, delivering the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, making them an ideal option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some even feature a lockable front tire for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3 wheel stroller brands-wheel buggies can have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models which means that they can tip over more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to ensure they are solid in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. They also feature an incline of 360o for the front wheel, which is ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and are able to withstand rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run and like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that can recline flat and comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight compact and safe for use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging but is not intended for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that will take on tricky terrain, then you'll need one with big wheels. These are made to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with ease, while still providing smooth riding. They are also ideal for jogging, as they have a suspension built-in and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they're quite heavy to push.

The best 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels with an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with air tyres which require pumping occasionally and can hold a child up to 3 wheel reversible stroller. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat, and she found steering it easy even with her 3-year-old on board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection and a high quality hood. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram with a carrycot or infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are placed in the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design delivers an lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never overestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

There are a variety of options for seating in three wheelers. For babies it is possible to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats don't recline fully, but they can be adjusted to the lowest position which will give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is positioned inside the frame, rather than on top as a modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity and a 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.

This type of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other features that are useful like an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights that can be placed in front of occupants to increase safety on rough terrain.

If you're looking for a buggy that can grow with your family it's the sport(tm), a world-first that can take in the newborn, and later be modified to fit two or three children as they grow, all within a single footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable and sturdy to push one-handed, and it's also great for handling rough terrain. However, it does mean that the shopping basket doesn't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A top-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It is also equipped to carry the form of a car seat and carrycot and you can use it right from the moment you are born.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't pass through their doors at home or car boot. If you're worried about space, be sure to check out the dimensions when the buggy is folded prior to purchasing.

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best choice for your child's future and will help you save money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best of these that can be used as a single seat from day dot, and then transforms to a twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

They can be difficult to maintain their inflation and will need to be replenished regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to make sure that you have repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump handy when you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres can be used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres but are equally robust. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide over smooth and tidy surfaces.

It's usually possible to discern the difference between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over each one. If it feels hard, then it's a rubber tyre, and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also verify that your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres onto a clean, flat surface They'll be able to roll easily and should fit snugly into their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain common to this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam loses its springy feel. These tyres also make a lot of noise because they generate a lot noise when you turn or drive around town.
