3 Wheeler Buggies
A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and provides the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy, especially those with fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set comfortably in the frame, delivering the best geometry and weight distribution.
Stability
Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an excellent choice for off-road walking (especially when equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.
It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they fall over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also have a 360o rotating front wheel which makes them ideal to navigate difficult terrain.
Look for models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to handle rocks, mud, gravel and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies feature an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain.
A 3-wheeler is an ideal option for runners or for those who like to walk quickly and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has a flat-reclining seat with five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space for all your equipment (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for infants and can be used in conjunction with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also allows for some light jogging but isn't intended for serious runners.
Weight
If you are seeking a buggy that can tackle difficult terrain, then you should pick one with big tires. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily, while still providing an enjoyable ride. They're also ideal for jogging because they come with suspension and are easy to move up and down kerbs. However, the drawback is that they can be quite heavy to push.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels with a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally, and it can carry children up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the design of the seat, and she found it easy to steer even with her 3-year-old on the seat.
Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar as well as a hood that is of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs and can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.
Fabric sling seats are tucked within the frame of the buggie rather than on top of it like modular seats. This design has a lower centre-of-gravity at the right height. It is easier to push and lighter to kerb-pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you'll do that as a new parent!).
Seating
There are many alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For a newborn you have the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline fully, but they can be adjusted to the lowest setting. This should allow your child plenty of room and headroom.
A sling made of fabric is also available. It is advantageous in that it is placed within the frame, instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat dealt with challenges.
Alongside three wheel pushchair , this type of buggy typically has some very useful features like an extendable 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal and some game-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to increase their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.
If you're seeking a buggy that will grow with your family, the sport(tm) is a world first that can take in a newborn and then be modified to accommodate three or four children as they grow, all within a single footprint.
Stores
The 3-wheeled frame is much more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also more suitable for terrains that are difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.
A top-quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres, and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned to ensure your ease. It is also equipped with a carrycot and car seat so you can use it right from birth.
MFM's reviewers have found that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't fit through all the doors in their homes or small car boots - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing for those who are concerned about space.
Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats once your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these that can be used as a single from day dot, and then transforms to a twin buggies when your baby starts walking.
Tyres
These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. These are used on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said offered "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.
These tyres can be difficult to maintain and will require having their air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to make sure that you have repair kits with spare tubes and a pump in case you go out and about with your buggy.
PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they're still as robust. You can recognise PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.
You can usually discern the difference between PU and air-filled tires by running your hands over each one. If it feels hard then it's rubber and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also verify whether your buggy has PU tyres by slipping the tyres on a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit snugly into their wheel hubs.
Foam tyres are often used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain that's common to this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable as the foam loses its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
