3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and provides an easy ride for babies. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheeler, especially if they have fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed perfectly within the frame, providing the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeler has great stability, which is the reason it's an ideal choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road-style seat). 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's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts which means they can topple over more readily. However, the most reliable 3 Wheel Strollers-wheel pushchairs are designed with an ideal geometry and design to ensure they are stable in all weather conditions. They must be able to pivot at a whim and be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging be sure to choose models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to work on non-paved tracks and are able to deal with rocks, mud, etc. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A 3-wheeled pram is a great choice for runners and those who like to walk fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to connect to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features the flat-reclining seat, five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space for all your gear (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's lightweight, compact 3 wheel stroller, and suitable for use from birth. It can be used with the car seat or carrycot. It also handles a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

These are also great for jogging because they come with built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they are 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-wheeler is highly mobile due to its 16 rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels and a lockable front wheel. It has tyres with air that need to be pumped regularly. It can be used by children up until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat, and she found steering it easy even with her three-year-old on board.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits into a the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a pram that comes with baby car seat for infants 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, which is the ideal height. It is simpler to push, and is lighter to kerb-pop (you don't know how many times you'll need to do that as a brand new parent!).

Seating

There are many options for seating in 3 wheelers. The carrycot that comes with it is ideal for a baby (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 is important to note that the seats aren't fully reclined however they can be lowered to the lowest setting that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available, which has the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame rather than sitting on top as the modular seat. This gives a lower centre of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this type of seat negotiated these 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 to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres on the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to maneuver around kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and will need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, so it is recommended to always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres are typically found on pushchairs as they are less expensive than tyres filled with air, but they are equally robust. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidied surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres, then you can determine if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it's moving, then it's a PU. You can also verify that your buggy has PU tyres by slipping the tyres onto a clean, flat surface They'll roll easily and should fit snugly in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain that's associated with this type of pushchair. The drawback is that the foam may expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable, because it loses its springy quality. Also, these kinds of tyres can typically be noisy because they make a lot of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
