3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheeler is ideal for off-roading, offering an easy ride for your baby. They are also more convenient to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy, especially if they have fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned comfortably in the frame, offering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution. Stability A three-wheeler has great stability, which is why it is a great option for off-road walks (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat). They usually have large front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel in the front to give you additional stability while driving on uneven terrain. It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled versions, which could mean they are more likely to fall over. However, the most reliable 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They must be able to pivot at a single click, be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain. Find models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and are able to withstand mud, gravel, rocks, etc. A lot of all-terrain buggies have a swivelling wheel on the front which can be locked for extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain. A 3-wheel pram is also an ideal option for runners and those who like to walk quickly and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that can recline flat and features a more comfortable 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot or car seat. It also handles some light jogging but isn't intended for serious runners. Weight If you're seeking a buggy that can handle difficult terrain then you want one with big wheels. They will be able to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks while providing the smoothest ride for anyone. They are also ideal for jogging as they have built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push. The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy is very maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. It has air-filled tyres that require pumping regularly. It can carry children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and found it easy to drive with her 3-year-old on board. 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, and a high-quality hood. It is also easy to move up and down kerbs, and can fit into the car's boot space in a small size. It can also be used as a pram that comes with baby car seat for infants and toddlers. Fabric slings are placed inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This model has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the perfect height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you'll do this as a new parent!). Seating The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is impressive and there are a variety of different options to pick from. For a newborn you have the option to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can be seated in the parent-facing or world-facing seat that is large and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline fully, but they can be lowered to the lowest point. This should still allow your child plenty of room and headroom. 3 wheeled pushchair made of cloth is also available, which has the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame, rather than on top like a modular seat and this provides a lower center 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 style of seat dealt with challenges. In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy generally has pretty useful features such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and some bright, game-changing lights that pop up from the handlebar and can be positioned directly in front of the occupants to increase their safety when traversing difficult terrain. If you're looking for a buggy that can grow with your family, the sport™ is a world first, can accommodate infants and be modified to fit three or four children as they grow, all in one footprint. Stores The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy more stable to push with one hand, and it's also great for handling difficult terrain. However, it does mean that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy. A high-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as a padded handle to ensure your comfort. It will accommodate a car seat, meaning you can use it from birth. MFM's reviewers have found that the 3-wheeler frame can't pass through all doors in their homes, or small car booties – make sure you know the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded before buying in case you're concerned about space. Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your child's future and will save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these; it can be used as a single unit from day dot and later converts to twin buggies when your baby starts walking. Tyres These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. They are commonly included on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said provided “an exceptional ride for her toddler”. She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to navigate kerbs and cobbles. These tyres can sometimes prove tricky to keep inflated and must be filled regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres. So you'll need to make sure that you have repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump on hand when you are you're out and about in your buggy. PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, but they're just as sturdy. You can tell PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide on flat and tidied surfaces. It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over them, if it feels hard then it's made of rubber, when it slides, it's a PU. You can also confirm that your buggy has PU tyres by slipping the tyres onto flat, clean surfaces They'll roll easily and should fit snugly in their wheel hubs. Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy nature. Also, these kinds of tyres can often be noisy as they make a lot of noise as you turn and navigate your way around town.
