3 Wheeler Buggies
A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-roading and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also more convenient to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned snugly in the frame, delivering the best ergonomics and weight distribution.
Stability
Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, which makes them an excellent option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). These buggys often have oversized front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.
It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than 4-wheeled versions, which could mean they are more likely to fall over. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure they remain stable in any condition. They should be able to turn on a dime and be able to steer with just one hand, and have 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.
Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on tracks that are not paved, and are able to withstand mud, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.
A 3-wheel pram is also a good option for runners or those who like to walk quickly and uphill, particularly when you plan to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, offering a world-facing seat that can recline flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight and compact, and is suitable for use from birth. It can be used with a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging but it's not designed for serious runners.
Weight
If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain, you need one with big wheels. They will be able to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, and provide the smoothest ride for all passengers. They're also ideal for jogging as they're equipped with suspension and are simple to move up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they are 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 comes with 16 rear wheels, and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with air tyres which do need occasional pumping and can hold children up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and found it easy to drive with her 3 year old in the seat.
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 move up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a stroller with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.
Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly within the buggie's frame instead of on top of it like modular seats. This design provides an lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot underestimate how often you'll be doing this as a new parent!)
Seating
There are many options for seating in three wheelers. The included carrycot plus is ideal for a newborn (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a cozy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and padded seat with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats do not recline completely however, they can be adjusted to the lowest level which will give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.
A sling made of fabric is also available. It's a benefit that it is placed inside the frame instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This results in a lower centre of gravity with 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 handled challenges.
In addition to a large shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal and some games-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned directly in front of the occupants to ensure their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.
If you're seeking a buggy that can grow with your family The sport(tm) is a world first designed to accommodate the newborn, and later be modified to accommodate three or four children as they grow. All within one footprint.
Stores
The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy more stable and stable to push one handed and is also ideal for handling difficult terrain. However, it means that the basket won't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.
A high-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. 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 doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it is folded before purchasing.
Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the top of them that can be used as a single from day dot and then converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.
Tyres
Air filled tyres are made to provide your child with a more comfortable ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are typically included on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.
These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain and must be filled 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 about.
PU tyres can be used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres, but they are equally robust. You can recognise PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also slide easily on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.
You can usually tell the difference between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand 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 check whether your buggy comes with PU tyres by sliding them across an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.
Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. 3 wheeler pushchair is that the foam may expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable, since it loses its springy nature. These tyres are also noisy due to the fact that they create lots of noise when you turn or drive around the town.
