3 Wheeler Buggies

A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-roading 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 slings or modular seat units that are placed comfortably in the frame, offering the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, making them an excellent option for off-roading (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front for extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled versions, which could mean they are more likely to fall over. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also have an incline of 360o for the front wheel, which makes them perfect to navigate difficult terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces, look out for a model with air-filled tyres, also known as pneumatic tyres, which are made to handle non-paved tracks and should cope with dirt, gravel, and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front which can be locked for extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain.

A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for those who run and love to speed up the hill. This is particularly true if you are planning to connect to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features a flat-reclining seat with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space for everything you need (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with the use of a 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 take on difficult terrain, you should pick one with large tires. They will be able to handle cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks while providing the smoothest ride for anyone. They are also great for jogging as they come with suspension and are simple to climb and descend kerbs. However, the trade off is that 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-wheeler is highly maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. It comes with air tyres that require occasional pumping and can hold a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the design of the seat, and she found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old on the board.

Another option that is great 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 kerbs up and down and fits in a the car's boot space in a small size. It can be used as a stroller along with baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned within the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design has an lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you can never think about the amount of times you'll have to do that as new parents!)

Seating

There are a myriad of alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For a newborn, there is the option to use the carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can sit in the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats aren't fully reclined, but they can be lowered to the lowest setting that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available. It offers the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame rather than on top like a modular seat and this provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat dealt with obstacles.

This type of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features, such as an extended hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be placed in front of occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that will adapt to your family's needs, there's the brand-new sport(tm) that is the first in the world to take one baby from day dot and then change to take two or even three once your baby has grown in the space of one buggy.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy much more sturdy to push one-handed, and it's also great for handling rough terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A top-quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres, and a padded handle for your ease. It should also be equipped with car seats and a carrycot which means you can use it right from the moment you are born.

MFM's reviewers have noticed that the 3 wheel strollers-wheeler frame can't fit through all the doors in their homes, or small car boot - be sure you know the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing for those who are concerned about space.

Find a 3 wheel double buggy-wheeler that has 2 (or 3 wheel pushchair cheap!) seats. seats once your family grows. They are the most efficient of both and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best of these; it can be used as a single from day dot, and then transforms to twin 3 wheel stroller buggies when your baby starts walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. They are commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to navigate kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and will require air pressure topped up regularly. They are also more susceptible to punctures than foam tyres. So you'll need to ensure that you have repair kits with spare tubes and a pump on hand when you are you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs since they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are equally robust. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide well on even and tied surfaces.

It's usually possible to identify the difference between PU and air-filled tyres by running your hand over each one, if it feels firm, then it's made of rubber, when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres sliding them on an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain that's common to this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable as the foam will lose its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
