3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheeler is perfect for rough terrain and provides a smooth ride for your baby. They are also more convenient to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seats that are set perfectly within the frame, providing the most efficient geometry and weight distribution. Stability Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this makes them a great option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They often feature oversized front wheels, which cope well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough terrain. Some models even feature a lockable front tire to provide extra stability on uneven terrain. It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have lower center of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, can topple over more readily. That said, the best 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain stable in all weather conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also feature an incline of 360o for the front wheel which is ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain. Look for models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to take on rocks, mud, gravel and more. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when dealing with extremely rough ground too. A 3-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run or enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, offering a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight, compact, and suitable to use from birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, but is not intended for serious runners. Weight If you are looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should choose one with big tires. These will cope well over grass, cobbles and dirt tracks while providing an enjoyable ride for anyone. They are also ideal for jogging as they come with built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. However, the trade off is that they can be quite heavy to push. The most suitable 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front making it extremely maneuverable. It has air-filled tyres which require pumping up every now and then. It can accommodate children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the seat shape and she was able to steer it easily with her 3-year-old in the seat. The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It comes with 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 pram, with an infant car seat for infants and toddlers. Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly inside the buggie's frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This design delivers a lower center of gravity that is at the ideal height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never think about how often you'll do this when you're a new parent!) Seating The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different options to pick from. For newborns, there is the option to use the included carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can use the parent-facing or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats don't fully recline, but they can be lowered to the lowest setting. This should still allow your child to have plenty of space and headroom. A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is placed inside the frame instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity and a 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 dealt with obstacles. This type of buggy has a large basket and other features that are useful, such as an extended hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy 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. If you're searching for a stroller that will grow with your family, the sport™ is a world first designed to accommodate infants and be modified to accommodate three or four children as they grow. All within one footprint. Storage The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy more stable and stable to push one handed and also perfect for handling rough terrain. However, it does mean that the basket won't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy. A high-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres and padding for the handle to ensure your comfort. It should be able to accept a carrycot or car seat, which means you can use it right from birth. MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, make sure to check out the dimensions when the buggy is folded before buying. Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best choice for your future and can save you money. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these; it can be used as a single seat from day dot, and then transforms to a twin buggies when your baby starts walking. Tyres Air filled tyres have been designed to provide your child with an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly included on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said was “an outstanding ride for her toddler”. She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs. These tyres can be difficult to maintain and will need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to ensure that you have a repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump handy when out and about with your buggy. PU tyres are more commonly found on pushchairs as they are a cheaper option than tyres filled with air, but they are just as durable. You can tell PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also slide well on uneven and tied surfaces. It's usually possible to discern the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one, if it feels firm, then it's rubber and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also verify that your buggy is fitted with PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres onto flat, clean surfaces They'll roll easily and should fit snugly into their wheel hubs. 3 wheel pushchair can handle the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy, as they make lots of noise when you turn and navigate around the town.
