3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is perfect for rough terrain providing an easy ride for your baby. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy especially those equipped with slings made of fabric or modular seat units, which are positioned tightly in the frame to provide the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is the reason it is a great choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat). They typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models even come with a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they topple over more easily. That said, the best 3-wheel pushchairs have perfect geometry and engineering to make them very stable in all weather conditions. They should be able to turn at a single click and be easy to steer with just one hand, and have a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and are able to withstand rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front which can be locked for greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A 3-wheel pram is also an excellent option for runners or for those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly when you plan to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that can recline flat and has improved 5-point harness and 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 with a car seat or a carrycot. It also handles some light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should pick one with big tires. These will cope well over cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks and provide a smooth ride for any passenger. They are also ideal for jogging as they come with built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The best 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy is extremely maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels as well as the front wheel can be locked. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child up to 3 wheel stroller with car seat. 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 on board.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, that comes with an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and can fit into small car boot. It can be used as a stroller along with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.

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

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheel twin stroller wheelers is impressive and there are many different options to pick from. The included carrycot plus is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a cozy and comfortable lay-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy). Older babies and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and padded seat with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats aren't fully reclined however they can be adjusted to the lowest position that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which has the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame rather than on top like the modular seat. 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 kind of seat dealt with challenges.

This kind of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other features that are useful, such as an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and some unique visibility lights which can be put in front of the occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that will expand with your family There's the new sport(tm) that is the first in the world to take one baby from day dot and then adjust to take 2 or even 3 after your baby has grown and all within the footprint of one buggy.

Stores

The 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable to push with one hand and is also ideal for handling terrain that is difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.

A high-quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres, and padding for the handle to ensure your comfort. It is also equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat and you can use it from the moment you are born.

MFM's reviewers have found that the 3 wheel push chair-wheeler frame can't fit through all the doors in their homes, or small car boots - make sure you know the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded prior to purchasing for those who are concerned about space.

Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats once your family grows. They are the most efficient of both and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the top of them; it can be used as a single seat from day dot, and then transforms to twin buggies when your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to provide your child with a more comfortable ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an amazing ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and will require having their air pressure maintained regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, and you should always have a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres can be seen on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they're just as durable. You can recognise PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidied surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres, then you can tell if they are rubber or PU. If it feels as if it is sliding then it's a rubber or PU. You can also verify whether your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres on an even, clean surface They'll be able to roll easily and fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. The downside is that the foam may shrink and make your buggy appear less stable because it loses its springy nature. You'll also find that these types of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they generate a lot of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
