3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheel buggy is great for tackling off-road terrain providing the most comfortable ride for your child. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy particularly those with fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set snugly in the frame, delivering the best ergonomics and weight distribution. Stability Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an excellent option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). These buggys often have oversized front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel in the front to give you additional stability while driving on uneven terrain. It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models and this can mean that they can tip over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure they remain stable in any condition. They should be able to turn on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. 3 wheeled pushchair have a 360o rotating front wheel, which is ideal for navigating difficult terrain. For surfaces that are extremely challenging you should look for models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres, which are designed to handle roads that are not paved and can deal with mud, gravel, rock and so on. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when tackling extremely rough terrain too. A tri-wheeled pram is a great option for runners and those who enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to store everything you need (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It's lightweight compact and safe for use starting at birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or a carrycot. It can also handle a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers. Weight If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain then you want one with big wheels. They will be able to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, while providing an enjoyable ride for any passenger. These are also great for jogging, as they have a suspension built-in and are able to climb up and down kerbs. However, the drawback 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 is highly maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and the front wheel can be locked. It has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping, 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 son on the board. Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a stroller and baby carriers or toddlers. Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly inside the frame of the buggie, as opposed to over it like modular seats. This design provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never underestimate how often you'll do this as a new parent!) Seating There are many options for seating in 3 wheelers. For a newborn it is possible to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cozy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the world-facing or parent facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to fully recline, but they can be lowered to the lowest setting. This should still give your child plenty of headroom and space. A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is placed within the frame, instead of on top as a modular seat. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially over bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this type of seat dealt with these obstacles. This type of buggy comes with a large basket and other features that are useful, such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and some unique visibility lights which can be put on the front of the passengers to increase safety on rough terrain. If you're searching for a single baby buggy that can adapt to your family's needs, there's the brand-new sport™ which is the first in the world to take a single infant from day one and change to take two or even 3 once your baby has grown in the space of one buggy. Storage The 3-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also more suitable for difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler. A good quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as a padded handle to ensure your ease. It should be able to accommodate a car seat, meaning you can use it right from birth. MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frame didn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to verify the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded before purchasing. It's worth considering a 3-wheeler that can take two (or even 3!) seats as your family grows – these are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most sought-after. It can be used from day dot as a single buggy and later converted into twin buggies after your baby begins walking. Tyres These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be “an exceptional ride for my toddler”. She also noted that the grippy tires of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it simple for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles. These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, and you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about. PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they are still just as sturdy. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces. It's usually possible to discern the difference between PU and air-filled tire by running your fingers over each one, if it feels hard then it's a rubber tyre, and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres sliding them on an even, smooth surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into wheel hubs. Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam loses its springy nature. Also, these tyres may frequently be noisy, as they create lots of noise when you turn and navigate your way through town.
