3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheeler is perfect for off-roading, offering a smooth ride for your child. They are also more convenient to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy especially those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned snugly in the frame, delivering the best geometry and weight distribution. Stability A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is why it is a great option for off-road walks (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some even have a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain. It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they topple over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been designed with perfect design to ensure they stay stable in any condition. They must be able to pivot at a whim, be easy to steer with one hand, and have 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain. For surfaces that are extremely challenging, look out for an air-filled model, also known as pneumatic tyres, which are made to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with mud, gravel, rock and so on. Many all-terrain buggies have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when working on extremely rough terrain too. A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run and love to speed up the hill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features a flat-reclining seat with five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space for everything you need (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight, compact, and suitable to use from birth. It can be used with either a car seat or a carrycot. It also handles a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners. Weight If you're seeking a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should choose one with big tires. These are designed to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks easily, while still providing a smooth ride. They are also ideal for jogging as they have built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they're quite heavy to push. The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy is very maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and the front wheel can be locked. It has tyres with air that need to be pumped up from time to time. It can carry children up until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and was able to steer it easily with her 3 year old in the seat. The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that offers 50+ UV protection as well as a high-quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits in a small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with an infant car seat for newborns and toddlers. Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the buggie's frame, as opposed to sitting on top of it as modular seats. This model has a lower centre-of-gravity at the right height. It is much easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you will do that as a brand new parent!). Seating There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. For newborns it is possible to use the included carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can be seated in the world-facing or parent facing seat that is large and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats do not recline completely, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and room to move around. A sling made of fabric is also available. It is advantageous in that it is placed within the frame, instead of on top as a seat that is modular. 3 wheeler pushchair means that it has a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this kind of seat handled obstacles. This type of buggy has an enormous basket, along with other beneficial features like an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be positioned on the front of the passengers to increase safety on rough terrain. If you're searching for a stroller that can grow with your family, the sport™ is a world first designed to accommodate infants and be modified to accommodate two or three children as they grow. All in one footprint. Stores The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy much more stable to push with one hand, and it's also great for handling difficult 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 for your comfort. It will be able to accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, meaning you can use it right 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, be sure to check out the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing. Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best choice for your future and can save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best of these and can be used as a single seat from day dot and then converts into twin buggies once your baby starts walking. Tyres Air filled tyres are made to give your child a more comfortable ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. These are found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted’s Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said was “an outstanding ride for her toddler”. She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easy to navigate cobbles and kerbs. They can be tricky to keep inflated and will need to be topped up frequently. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres. So you'll need to ensure 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 are more commonly found on pushchairs as they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are just as robust. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide well on even and tied surfaces. If you rub your hands over the tyres, then you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it is sliding then it's a PU. You can also determine whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres sliding them across a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs. Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The downside is that the foam could expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable, because it loses its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy because they generate lots of noise when you turn and navigate around the town.
