3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-roading and provides a smooth ride for baby. They can also be easier to move and push than a four-wheel buggy especially if they have fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are placed comfortably in the frame, delivering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, which makes them an excellent choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough ground. Some models even have a lockable front wheel to give extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts which means they can topple over more readily. That said, the best 3 wheeled pushchairs-wheel buggies have the perfect geometry and engineering to make them very stable in all weather conditions. They should be able to turn at a single click and be able to steer with one hand, and have a 360o swivelling front wheel that makes them great for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging you should look for models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with dirt, gravel, and so on. Many all-terrain buggies feature an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when working on extremely rough terrain too.

A 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that can recline flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for babies and can be used with a carrycot or car seat. It also handles a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy to tackle difficult terrain, then you should pick one with big tires. These are designed to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease, while still providing a smooth ride. They are also great for jogging, as they come with built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push.

The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has tyres with air which 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 she was able to steer it easily with her three-year-old on board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection as well as an extremely high-quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits in a 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 set in the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design has a lower centre of gravity at the ideal height. It is much easier to push, and is lighter to kerb-pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for seating of 3 wheeled pushchairs wheelers is impressive and there are a variety of different options to choose from. For a newborn, there is the option to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be lowered down to the lowest point. This should still allow your child plenty of headroom and space.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which is placed snugly within the frame rather than over the top of a modular seat and this gives a lower centre of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this kind of seat dealt with obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this kind of buggy usually has very useful features like an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal and some bright, game-changing lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed directly in front of the occupants to ensure their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

If you're searching for a stroller that will grow along with your family, the sport(tm), a world-first designed to accommodate a newborn and then be modified to accommodate two or three children as they grow. All within one footprint.

Storage

The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy much more stable to push with one hand and is also ideal for handling difficult terrain. However, it means that the shopping basket doesn't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A top-quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres and padding for the handle to ensure your ease. It will also be able to take a carrycot and car seat and you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frame didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it is folded before purchasing.

It's worth looking into lightweight 3 wheel stroller-wheelers that can accommodate 2 (or even 3!) seats when your family grows - these are the best of both worlds and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most popular. It can be used from day dot as a single buggie and later transformed into twin buggies after your baby is walking.

Tyres

These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. These are used on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted’s Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said was "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on it made it easier to handle kerbs and cobbles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require 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 can be seen on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, yet they are still just as sturdy. You can recognise PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide across flat and tidied surfaces.

You can usually identify the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one, if it feels hard, then it's made of rubber, If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also check if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by sliding them on flat, clean surfaces. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam can compress and make your buggy appear less stable since it loses its springy feel. Also, these kinds of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they generate lots of noise when you turn and make your way around the town.
