3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is perfect for tackling off-road terrain providing a smooth ride for your child. They are also easier to move and push than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric sling seats or seat units that are positioned snugly within the frame, providing the best geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeler has great stability, which is why it's a good option for off-road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat unit). They often feature oversized front wheels, which can cope well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough ground. Some models even have a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they topple over more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel buggies have the perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with a 360o rotating front wheel that is ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to handle dirt, gravel, rocks and more. Many all-terrain buggies feature an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to add stability when tackling extremely rough ground too.

A 3-wheel stroller is an excellent option for runners and those who like to walk quickly and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features the flat-reclining seat, a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to store everything you need (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable from birth and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also handles some moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that will take on tricky terrain, you need one with large wheels. These will cope well over grass, cobbles and dirt tracks while providing an enjoyable ride for all passengers. They are also great for jogging as they have built in suspension and are easy to move up and down kerbs. The downside 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 wheel double pushchair-wheel buggy is very maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels as well as an adjustable front wheel that locks. It has tyres with air that need to be pumped up every now and then. It can be used by children up until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the seat shape and she was able to steer it easily with her three-year-old riding along.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It comes with a movable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that offers 50+ UV protection, and a high quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards and fits in a the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a stroller with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.

Fabric sling seats sit snugly within the buggie's frame, as opposed to on top of it like modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how often you'll be doing this when you're a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different options to choose from. The carrycot that comes with it is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lying-flat bed that can be used in and out of the buggy). Older babies and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined however they can be adjusted to the lowest position which should still give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available. It offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame rather than over the top of a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity and a 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 type of seat negotiated these challenges.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this type of buggy typically has some very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and a few games-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the occupants to improve their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

If you're searching for a single baby buggy that will grow with your family There's a brand new sport(tm) which is a world's first that can take a single newborn from the moment of birth and adjust to take 2 or even 3 after your little ones have developed and all within the footprint of one buggy.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable and stable to push one handed and is also ideal for handling rough terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.

A good quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres and a padded handle to ensure your ease. It should be able to accept a carrycot or car seat, so you can use it from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded before purchasing.

It's worth looking into a 3-wheeler that can take two (or even 3 wheeled buggy!) seats as your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most popular. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggy, and later converted into twin buggies when your baby is walking.

Tyres

These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. They are commonly included on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said offered "an amazing ride for her toddler". She also said that its grippy tyres made it easy to navigate kerbs and cobbles.

They can be difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure topped up regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, which is why it is recommended to always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres are found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they are still just as sturdy. You can identify PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft texture. They also slide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the difference between PU and air-filled tyres by running your hand over them, if it feels firm, then it's a rubber tyre, and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also verify whether your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres on a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and should fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies and joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain common to this type of pushchair 3 wheels. The drawback is that the foam could shrink and make your buggy feel less stable since it loses its springy feel. Additionally, these tyres may typically be noisy because they generate a lot of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
