3 Wheeler Buggies
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for off-road terrain and provides an easy ride for babies. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy particularly those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned perfectly within the frame, providing the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.
Stability
Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, and this makes them an ideal option for off-roading (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some models even feature a lockable front tire for extra stability on uneven terrain.
It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower center of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts and, therefore, could fall more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure that they remain stable in any condition. They should be able turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also come with an incline of 360o for the front wheel that makes them perfect for maneuvering over difficult terrain.
Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to take on rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.
A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for those who run and like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, offering a world-facing seat that reclines flat. 3 wheeled pushchairs has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's light and compact, and is suitable to use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with the 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 vehicle that can handle the tough terrain, you need one with big wheels. 3 wheeler pushchairs will be able to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, and provide an enjoyable ride for all passengers. They are also ideal for jogging as they come with built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb 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 is extremely maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. It has tyres with air that require pumping up from time to time. It can carry children until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat, and she found it easy to drive with her 3 year old in the seat.
The Baby Jogger Versa GT is an alternative that is also a great choice. It has an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection and a high quality hood. 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 baby carriers or toddlers.
Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly within the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate the amount of times you'll have to do this when you're a new parent!)
Seating
The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive, and there are a number of different options to pick from. For babies you have the option to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can use the world-facing or parent facing seat that is spacious and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to fully recline, but they can be lowered to the lowest position. This should allow your child plenty of headroom and space.
A fabric sling seat is also available. It is placed snugly within the frame rather than over the top of a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this kind of seat dealt with the obstacles.
In addition to a big shopping basket, this kind of buggy usually has pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal, and some bright, game-changing lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to increase their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that will adapt to your family's needs There's the new sport(tm) that's a world's first that can take a single newborn from day one and adjust to take 2 or even three once your children have developed and all within the footprint of a single buggy.
Storage
The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more stable and sturdy to push one-handed and is also ideal for handling difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.
A good quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres, and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned for your ease. It should also be equipped with the form of a car seat and carrycot and you can use it from the moment you are born.
The MFM reviewers noted that the 3-wheeler frames didn't pass through their doors at home or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to verify the dimensions when the buggy is folded prior to purchasing.
Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your child's future and will save you money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is one of the most well-known. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggy, and then converted into twin buggies after your baby begins walking.
Tyres
Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. 3 wheeled pushchair are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around kerbs and other obstacles.
These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and need to be topped up frequently. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres, so it is essential that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump handy when you're out and about in your buggy.
PU tyres can be used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are just as durable. You can recognise PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide across flat and tidy surfaces.
You can usually identify the distinction between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over them, if it feels hard then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also determine whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres sliding them across an even, smooth surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.
Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable because the foam loses its springy nature. The tyres can also be noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
